Athenians spent Christmas Eve at Kotzias Square in the city, sending lit paper lanterns into the night with their wishes and hopes for the future, in the annual tradition of “Night of Wishes” by the municipality, ANA reports.
Participants included Athens Mayor Kostas Bakoyiannis, who also joined the crowd to watch a projection mapping by the Athens Digital Arts Festival against the background of City Hall. The event preceded the lantern release and featured projections with accompanying music at this unique event, while celebrations continued at Syntagma Square with a concert and party set up by popular group Onirama.
