The custom of Kamila is celebrated on January 7th and 8th in Petrousa. The virtual camel accompanied by a group of performers completes the euphoric action culminating in the virtual sowing and reaping as well as the satirical representation of the local wedding.

The symbolism of this carter animal with its unparalleled resistance to hunger and thirst under adverse conditions, shows man’s adventures through life and time and his determination to continue to struggle against lack and deprivation.
