The tradition is that young girls have to start prepare their dowry for when the time comes to get married. As a result they produce a huge amount of textile products with the help of their mothers and grandmothers. When the time comes to get married they have to display all their dowry to their village and take it to the groom's house accompanied by music.
The dowery law in Greece ended in 1982 but the tradition continues until today.
