Colourful handmade nativities
This place holds some magic. This is Cambelas wash house, lavoir or public basin, where the women used to wash the clothes before water was piped from the grid into the houses in the late 90s. There was also a public cattle drinking basin and a fountain for human water consumption. Many years have passed, the women have left, there is no cattle to water, people now buy bottled water and tarmak arrived (What for?). Recently, someone in the village had the idea to display a handmade nativity here during Christmas period. Many families adhered to the idea, and the result was more than 40 nativities presented and many visitors from outside the village. Before the pandemic arrived, families also got together here in Christmas eve to toast and to sing Christmas songs.
