ANASTENARIA: the Greek fire walking ritual as seen through the lens of Anna Papadopoulou (@anna_on_camera). Yia Mas is honored to share Anna’s striking, ethereal photo collection “HOLY ASH,” captured during three stays in the village of Lagkadas, near Thessaloniki. For those unfamiliar, Anastenaria is a fire-walking ritual that takes place primarily in honor of Saints Constantine and Helen on their feast day, May 21 - some say it has ancient, Dionysian roots, but this can’t be proven 100%.
💡We also interviewed Anna - see a snippet of this below and read the full thing (for free) on our blog! Trust us, you want to read her words in full… I could not instagram-ify it. I learned so much and it challenged some of my assumptions, notably about the supposed secrecy of the ritual. Also, I think many of us can relate to her experience of seeing the magic in Greek culture once living AWAY from Greece.
YIA MAS: Having personally experienced it multiple times, how do you feel this ancient ritual translates to modern life?
ANNA: I believe the Anastenaria are highly relevant to modern life. At the core of the ritual lies willpower and the ability to master and surpass one’s self, a challenge that remains highly relevant in contemporary life. Faith— not confined to religious belief—appears to provide participants with the strength to endure and transcend the pain associated with fire-walking. Moreover, the ritual can be seen as a process of transforming a painful experience into one that is healing, positive, and cathartic. This perspective, in itself, holds a universal quality, applicable to many aspects of modern life.

Anna c’était une rencontre qui s’est faite par hasard quand j’étais à Athènes. Au fil de notre discussion j’ai compris qu’elle était photographe et réalisatrice et je lui ai proposé de filmer ensemble une petite vidéo sur son travail. Parfois ce sont les rencontres qui ne sont pas prévues qui nous marquent le plus. Sa façon d’envisager le documentaire m’a beaucoup inspirée pour mon propre projet. Et j’ai vraiment hâte de voir le film qu’elle prépare actuellement 🌟
Anna was a chance encounter when I was in Athens. As our conversation unfolded, I realized she was a photographer and filmmaker, and I suggested we shoot a short video together about her work. Sometimes the unplanned meetings are the ones that stay with us the most. Her approach to documentary filmmaking really inspired me for my own project, and I can’t wait to see the film she’s currently working on.
