Description
Taken in Romano, Limnos, Greece
Romano is a small Greek village on the island of Limnos. This picture was taken in a small cemetery, first grave (you can see in the background) is my great-grandfather, great-grandmother and great-uncle�s grave. We visit when we�re on the island and light the candle for them. There are many �traditions� in Greece that I won�t go into about lighting various things at and around graves (because I can�t remember what they are or what they are for) but lighting a candle is one thing I love doing and always makes me smile. We do the same thing in the church, you give a few coppers, pick a candle and light it. It can be for someone you love to wish them better or or can just light it for a friend. I always enjoyed this as a kid and still do. I hope you like this picture! :)
