So beautiful! Fr. Elias posted it on facebook. I am sure there are those on here who know about it, or have more info. What is the song they are singing? Thanks! Such a wonderful tradition.
Dance of the Priests [

The "dance of the priests" or "Glory be ..." is a custom observed in the village of Corfu to visit Sunday evening of Shrovetide.
The Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday are known as "Shrovetide," from an old English word "shrive," meaning "to confess," a name gotten from the tradition of going to Confession in the days before Lent started. Shrovetide is traditionally the time for "spring cleaning," and just as we clean our houses in these days in prepation for Lent, we also "clean our souls" through confession so we can enter the penitential season fresh.
