Kataklismos Paphos 2013!!!
The flood festival is organized every year around Cyprus 50 days after Easter. The celebration of Kataklysmos is a Greek Orthodox festival with strong pagan roots relating back to the Greek myth of Deukalion and the ark he built to survive the floods, and ancient ceremonies between Aphrodite and Adonis.
In English Kataklysmos is known as Pentecost or Whitsun - the daythe Holy Spirit descended on the disciples of Jesus.
