Cover Story: During the peak tourist season on Anafi Island, religious life unfolds through communal feasts that reinforce kinship, identity, and social cohesion. This paper examines the material culture of these rituals, focusing on commensality: how shared meals sustain community bonds among both permanent residents and returning diasporic islanders. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it analyses key Orthodox celebrations, culminating in the Nativity of the Theotokos, the island’s most significant feast, held on Mount Kalamos, the Mediterranean’s tallest monolith. By exploring how embodied traditions sustain Anafiot identity, this study situates Anafi’s religious traditions within broader discussions on lived religion and the sensory dimensions of Orthodox Christian theology, highlighting their intersections with anthropology and material culture.
