On 7 February 2023, the Volunteers of the Hellenic Alzheimer’s Association (E.E.N.A.L.) in Larissa, introduced participants to the festive Triodion via the event "Masks". This event aimed at the mental empowerment of the beneficiaries, through the revival of Lental customs. It was attended by 12 women of different cultural backgrounds, who heard about the future-proof history of the Mask and its use in disguise. Then, with the volunteers’ help, the women created their personal masks by using ecological materials and colours of their choice. This was accompanied with an interactive discussion about the Triodion, the celebration of Smoky Thursday and the award of the best mask. The team admired everyone's masks and unanimously settled on the award going to Mrs Paraskevi, who is distinguished for her artistic skills. The participants enjoyed a variety of juices, hot tea and delicacies. The event ended with a photoshoot and with the singing of a Greek folk song: “These days have it” by Domna Samiou, related to the spirit of the Triodion.
