The festival of the Momoeroi, the Momoeria[1] is a Pontic Greek folk festival that takes place in the twelve days between Christmas, New Year's, and Epiphany. A related custom is the Ragoutsaria of Drama, Kozani, and Kastoria.[2] The festival has its roots in pre-Christian traditions celebrating Momus, the ancient Greek god of satyr and pranks.[1][3] Since 2016 the Momoeria is protected as part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.[4]
