ille You are quite right, but unfortunately (or maybe only interestingly) traditions evolve. In this case natural colors are replaced by bright commercial dyes, and symbols are replaced by flowers. All that remains is the offering of the towels to honor the icon and the Lord.

But this towels are not that much in keeping with the older tradition. Those made by my grand mothers and great grandmothers only have very simple geometrical decorations. The colour range is also quite limited: red, black and blue.
