The beloved painting titled "Kalanda" the carols created in 1872 by the Greek master Nikiforos Lytras is one of the most famous works in the history of modern Greek art. It is still admired today and is widely shared throughout social media for Christmas and New Year's greertings.
Under the soft light of of a full moon, five children from different backgrounds and nationalities, dressed in clothing of the era, play traditional Greek musical instruments and sing Christmas carols in the courtyard of the house.
The wife of the house stands with her toddler in the window, listening to the carols. Behind the wall, the viewer can see the head of another child closely watching this beloved Greek Chistmas not daring to take part.
The full moon and the flowers hanging from the pot on the wall give a warm and serene harmony to the whole picture,
