In This Picture:
“Close family sews red crosses onto a symbolic marital mattress. Probably for fertility. Everything is for fertility” (Prêt à Voyager).

Sewing the red crosses onto the mattress is often considered a Cypriot tradition. Another tradition that is mainly practiced by Cyptiot’s is the Red Scarf Blessing.

How hard is it to sew those red crosses ‘perfectly’ while everyone is standing around watching you?
