Quaremma, character symbol of the passage from one period of happiness, what is the Carnival, for a period of privation and preparation for Easter precisely what Lent. It is a puppet of straw hanging out of their houses, which embodies an "old" wearing a dark suit, a handkerchief on his head and, in hand, a spindle and a distaff. Quaremma characteristic element is also an orange they are stuck, in a radial pattern, seven chicken pens, one for each week of Lent. At the end of each week you remove the pen and the corresponding day of the Easter Quaremma is burned to symbolize the liberation from the hardship and suffering.
Sarakostì Tessarakostì or simply comes from the greek Sarakostì, name given to the period of fasting (abstinence and penance) of forty days before Easter up to the fourth century AD
For Orthodox Sarakostì ranging from "Clean Monday" to the Friday before Palm Sunday. For Catholics, but starts on Shrove Tuesday and ending on Saturday of Lazarus, the eve of Palm Sunday.
Over time, other days are added or subtracted to arrive in order to define a period of seven weeks before Easter, the last of which is the Holy Week.
time ago, when there was still the calendars of today, to know how much time remains until the end of fasting, in many countries of Greece, built a "roadmap" called "Kira sarakostì," Mrs. Sarakostì. It was usually a drawing on a sheet of paper that represented a sister with no mouth because he fasted, prayed with his arms folded because they were seven feet and seven weeks of fasting. Every Saturday they cut the foot. Holy Saturday they cut the last foot and hid in a fig. This fig figs and mix it with other person who happened to the fig tree "stuffed" was the luckiest.
Salento however, Sarakoctì (Quaremma or Lent or Quaresma, French Carême) was represented by a puppet of straw hanging out of their homes, who personified the "old" in a dark suit, a handkerchief on his head and, in one hand carried a spindle and a spinning wheel and the other an orange on which they were strung seven chicken pens, one for each week of Lent. At the end of each week a pen and took off on Easter Sunday the Quaremma was hanging by a thread on a pole and was burned.
In other countries the figure of the Greek Sarakostì was made from a dough of flour or salt water and filled with the stuff that has become a puppet. It is however worth noting that countries in the Pontic Greeks in the Black Sea, the Sarakostì was represented by a potato or an onion that is hung from the ceiling on which pierce seven feathers of the hen as sull'arancia Sarakostì Salento. This also would remove a pen every so settimanae counted what was left fin'alla resurrection. This "roadmap" was called "kukurà.
