ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Feast held in Trebizond in memory of St. Eugenios, the patron saint of the city. Originally celebrated on the 21st of January, it was transferred to 24 June from the 9th century on. The feast was suspended in the late 11th century because of Turkoman raids and was revived in the first half of the 14th century on the initiative of Emperor Alexios II Grand Komnenos. Lots of people from the nearby areas swarmed the city during the feast, which served as a reference point for the commercial activity of Trebizond and later of the namesake empire. |
