[Mrs. Sarakosti]

Long ago in order to count the days people used to draw Mrs.Sarakosti. They didn't put a mouth on her face because she represented the 7 weeks fast period before Easter. Her hands are tangled because of the many prayers. She used to have seven legs,one for each week of the Sarakosti. Each Saturday they cut one leg of her. In Chios(a greek island), people cut her last leg on Holy Saturday and they put it into
a dry fig. They mixed this fig with some others and the one who managed to find it,it would bring him luck.
