[01] Christmas village in northern city of Drama
AMNA / The annual Santa Claus "village" tradition in the municipal
gardens of the northern city of Drama was again held this year, with a
Christmas snowfall adding to the holiday atmosphere. Called "Oniroupolis"
(Dreamland), the Christmas village opened in early December and will
remain open until Jan. 4, 2012. "Santa Claus" in Greece is identified
with the eastern Orthodox Church's St. Basil (Vassilios) instead of
St. Nicholas. AMNA / PIXEL
