| Original text |
Besides the icon stand, called “stasidi”, is a fire-dancer, usually the same, who gives the icons and the “amanetia”, the multi coloured silk handkerchiefs […] The “amanetia” replace the use of icons because there are not enough for all the fire-dancers. […] the fire-dancers wave them or tie them around their necks during the dances.
