معنی
Tidying up the sleeping area.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Krevati' (The Bed) ceremony involves the bride's friends making the matrimonial bed while guests throw money on it for wealth and a baby for fertility. It's a festive event with music and food. In the Greek army, the 'envelope' (φάκελος) style of making the bed is mandatory. It must be so tight that a coin can bounce off the blanket. Preparing a bed for a guest is a sacred duty. A host will often give up their own bed and 'στρώσει' it with their best linens for a visitor. A 'νοικοκυρά' (housewife/homemaker) is traditionally judged by how early and how well the beds are made in the house.
