The Festival of Panagia Spiliani on August 15th is the biggest tradition of the Island. At the end of Vespers Mass there is a dirge sung that reminds you of the Holy Week and especially Good Friday. The Nisyrians have composed their own Egomia (praises) for the festival. After Vespers Mass a dinner appropriate for Lent is offered and traditional loukoumades (doughnuts).
