The author, Mrs. Anne Gault Antoniades, an American long resident in Greece and familiar with its language, is competent to write about the Anastenaria not only because she can give an eyewitness account of the festival, but particularly by virtue of her keen interest in the Greek people and the study she has made of their folkways.
