Eight new inscriptions have been included in the Cypriot UNESCO national list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity, the Cyprus National UNESCO Committee and the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture has announced.
The new inscriptions include laces called `pipilla` and `pittotes`, the art of basket weaving, the art of dry stone, the Limassol Carnaval, the `Kataklysmos Fair` (Flood Fair), the Arkatena (a type of circular crunchy bread) and the `kapouthiotiko psathi` (a type of matting).
It is noted that the UNESCO national list of intangible cultural heritage for Cyprus includes already the “lefkaritiko” (lace embroidery of the village of Lefkara), the `tsiattista`, a folklore poetic duelling, composed in the Greek Cypriot dialect and Mediterranean diet.
Meanwhile, it was announced today a new round of submission of applications to enrich the UNESCO national list of intangible cultural heritage for 2016 (deadline the 1st of March 2016).
