Cyprus breaks Guinness World Record for longest sheftalia

·

A Guinness World Record was broken on Sunday, October 13 in Dromolaxia at the orchard of Ayios Lazaros, with the creation of a 75-metre-long sheftalia.

The feat was part of the fourth Charity Festival, “Ayios Lazaros and his little friend Savvas,” which is held annually to commemorate the Feast of the Translation of the Holy Relics of Ayios Lazaros. This year, over 150 organisations took part.

The aim of the event is to provide enjoyment for people of all ages while raising funds for the Ayios Lazaros Centre for adults with disabilities, which supports individuals with mild to moderate intellectual challenges.

Proceeds also went to other charitable organisations offering care, education, and health services.
