Arrows, EUROPA Issue, Republic of Cyprus
Description
Spells and lullabies have played a significant role in all cultures of the world, and Cyprus is no exception to this universal phenomenon. Here is an example of each from Cypriot culture. A Spell:""In the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. (Thrice) As the stars take their course, as the fountains flow, as the rivers run, as the brooks glide, as the Virgin Mary hies to her sole begotten son, so may all evil hasten from my house and go to the wild mountains, to the wild hills and to the barren trees"". A Lullaby: ""O, Saint Marina, Holy Lady Who lulls the babes to sleep Lull this one too, I pray That he may sleep and grow And waken well refreshed. His mother is not here She went down to the river, To bring bay leaves and water To wash his clothes And little gowns.I gave him to you tiny wee Return him to me fully grown"". (Extract from: Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation, Cyprus Popular Music )
