What kind of symbolic action did they show, I wonder?

It's good that the mayor of Prodromos managed to visit on Saturday and visited all the stands. What I like most is that he stopped by the AGAPI association and praised the children for their performance about the fruits of love - nothing will grow in my garden without love. I wonder what exactly these kids showed.
