ABSTRACT The Anastenaria festival is celebrated by descendants of refugees from the village of Kōsti in eastern Thrace, now in Bulgaria, who settled in Greek Macedonia by 1924, after the Balkan Wars. The festival is dedicated to saints Kōnstantinos and his mother, Elenē, depicted on holy icons brought from Kōsti. Participants’ primary focus is an ecstatic dance over red-hot coals while possessed by the saint. Proscribed by official Orthodox religion, it was formerly conducted in secret. Though the Church still considers the festival a combination of paganism and Christianity, tension between official religion and the Anastenarides has eased. Based on fieldwork in two villages inhabited by both Anastenarides and other ‘indigenous’ Greeks, this article explores how ritual spaces of the Anastenarides replicate the original space in Kōsti. Belonging to ‘former days,’ cultic practices constitute an ancestor cult linked to their original home, the ‘Thracians’ celebrating their ‘Kōstilidian’ identity through religious rituals.

难民仪式:马其顿希腊节Anastenaria节的连续性和变化

摘要Anastenaria节是由现在位于保加利亚的色雷斯东部的Kōsti村的难民的后裔们庆祝的,巴尔干战争之后,他于1924年在希腊马其顿定居。该节日专门针对圣徒康斯坦丁诺斯和他的母亲埃莱尼(Elenē),在康斯蒂带来的圣像上进行描绘。参与者的主要焦点是圣徒拥有的在炽热的煤上狂喜的舞蹈。它由官方东正教宗教禁止,以前是秘密进行的。尽管教会仍然认为该节日是异教和基督教的结合,但官方宗教与阿纳德纳底里德之间的紧张关系有所缓解。基于在Anastenarides和其他“土著”希腊人居住的两个村庄进行的田野调查,本文探讨了Anastenarides的仪式空间如何复制Kōsti的原始空间。
