A Climber climbs up the cliff behind the church of St. George Mandilas, which means scarf in Greek, to leave scarves given by the local villagers in Kastraki village at Meteora in central Greece on May 2, 2016. Following a 300-year custom each year during the celebrations of Saint George's name day, climbers leave scarves in a cave 40 meters above the village on the sandstone rocks and return with old ones and give them away to people for a sign of good luck.
