The majority religion of Cyprus is Greek Orthodox. However, the occupied Northern Territory is largely Muslim. There is also a substantial British expat community (around 12%). Greek Orthodox is described in the link below; however there are some local variations. Perhaps the most interesting is Kataklysm. This is a celebration(!) of the Great Flood described in Genesis. It's combined with Pentecost and has some association with the birth of Aphrodite - who was born in Cyprus.

What does religious customs mean?

Religious customs are behaviours which are associated with the forms of worship practised in a particular religion, or which are commanded by the holy scriptures of the particular religion. Thus the practise of "crossing yourself", practised by Roman Catholics, is a part of their worship, and is a religious custom. Likewise, abstinence from pork is a behaviour required by the scriptures of both Muslims and Jews, and is thus a religious custom. Sometimes, however, people think that behaviours practised primarily by a particular religious group are religious customs when in fact they are just . . . customs. For example, the wearing of headscarves by Muslim women in contexts outside of worship is not actually mandated in scripture and is thus just a custom.
