The history of humankind is shaped by hundreds of cataclysmic events that we still remember and commemorate today. One of these great events in history is that of the Great Flood, the famous story in the Bible where God, due to humanity's misdeeds, reveals his wrath against men and a great flood befalls on Earth. Nowadays, Cyprus, an island nation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, remembers this biblical event and merges it with more recent Christian Orthodox and pagan traditions in a festival known as Kataklysmos or Festival of the Flood.
