to the church on the Feast of Mary Dormition of the Virgin Mary as our ascension to the 15 August is flowing in the small village in Kefalonia Markopoulo addition to the faithful many small, harmless snakes in the church. Just in time
to the party they appear almost every year around 15 August. Only in years of trouble they do not materialize. For example, before and during the occupation of Greece during the Second World War and in 1953, as Kefalonia was devastated by an earthquake verhehrenden. Throughout the year, hardly anyone sees a copy of this particular species of snake with a marker in a black cross on the head. Except in Markopoulo appear at the same time around the same snake a little further east on Kefalonia in the village Arginia. There revolves around the legend of this phenomenon, nuns, had a pirate attack in 1705 begged the mother of God, turn them into snakes in order to escape the pirates.
