Cottage Industry-Traditional Occupations

The Cultural Association of Kerasia organizes various activities for the revival of old customs. Among them, the preparation of oil soap stands out. In the past, soap was made with soapstone and oil or animal fat. The process began with the boiling of the oil and the soapstone. Two sticks in the shape of a cross were placed on the still warm, soft soap, for good luck; as soon as it cooled, they cut it into pieces and put it on boards to dry. They then placed it in the shade, so that it would not melt from the heat.
