A large number of people arrived this year, as they do every year on December, in Tino for the festivities.
The church of Panagia of Tinos is decorated with flags and offerings, while kneeling believers walk up the avenue of the Virgin Mary fulfilling the vows they have made, Mega reports.
There are also many customs in various parts of the country on the day of August 15.
Today a Polyarchy Mass will be celebrated and the holy icon will be paraded in homage to the Virgin Mary.
