There are times when nature displays such artistry that it requires no human intervention for the masterpiece to emerge. This is the case every year at the start of the spring season in the village of Vassa Kilaniou.
This picturesque village, with its stone-built homes and cobblestone streets, becomes twice as beautiful in spring, when the lilac trees that dot the village are in full bloom.
This familiar, flowering woody plan, permeates the entire village with purple flourishes from the small, lilac buds found on its branches. Thus, nature appears to be decorating the entire village in celebration of spring, as well as Easter.
The lilac tree, after all, is a plant that is resistant to both heat and cold, and does not require much care to offer its rich hues and characteristic aroma every April.
