The ages-old custom of "Mpampo" was revived this year once again by the members of the Pan-Thracian Union of America "Orpheus" in the customary first event of the New Year last Sunday at the Stathakeio Cultural Center in Astoria.
The event is the so-called feast of "gynaikokratia" or women's rule, which is ceremoniously celebrated each year throughout the villages of Macedonia and Thrace on January 8th, the feast of St. Dominique, who is believed to have been the midwife of the Virgin Mary during the Birth of Christ. On this day, the roles are turned in local society, with women having the dominating post, and men being limited to household chores and caring for the children.
