Wedding customs at the museum

Many traditions stay the same but many also change. In the framework of the exhibition Brides at the Leventis Museum: Tradition and Fashion in Greece and Cyprus at the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia, a dance/ music event will take place that will show us just how much our idea of a wedding has changed over the years.

The event under the name How Beautiful You Are, My Bride, is in collaboration with the Ayioi Omologites Cultural Workshop and will take place on April 23 in the court of the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia, where highlights from a traditional Cypriot wedding will be presented through dance and music. The revival of wedding traditions will also feature wedding elements from Greece.

This is a great chance to get to know some of the wedding customs that have been lost in the course of time.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
