Description

Explore the unique traditions of the Anastenaria, Orthodox Christians in Northern Greece, through this scholarly study. The book examines a distinct annual ritual cycle centered on festivals for Saint Constantine and Saint Helen. These celebrations include processions, music, dancing, and animal sacrifices, leading to the intense fire-walking ritual where participants carry sacred icons and dance over hot coals. Based on long-term fieldwork, The Burning Saints provides a deep look into the historical development and sociocultural context of these practices. The text offers an analysis of the rituals and the psychology behind them, making it a valuable resource for those interested in religion, cognition, and culture. This work helps readers understand how these specific religious traditions function within their community and the mental processes involved in such intense spiritual experiences.
