This year my Easter Holiday were exciting!!!!

During the Holy Week, we cleaned the house and bought new clothes. Also we baked cheese pies called flaounes, koulouria and tsourekia!!

On Good Friday we decorated Epitafios.Epitafios was carried around the streets…!! On Good Friday we also dyed hardboiled eggs…!!!!

Easter Saturday is my favourite day.Church bells started ringing at 11pm, we celebrated Christ's resurrection at midnight….. Also we lit fireworks. Sparklers, fire crackers were let off and bonfire lit, we burned Judas… After that we lit our Easter candle and took it home…it is said that Easter light never dies!!! We greeted each other with Christos Anesti…Christ has arisen and others replied Alithos Anesti….Indeed he has arisen.!!!! In the end we ate egg and lemon soup, we cracked red-dyed eggs and eat flaounes.

On Easter Sunday, we went to my grandparents and  we roasted a whole lamp…pieces of lamp on the spit and koupepia, stuffed vine leaves…In the afternoon we went to Church yard and played traditional games like pulling the rope, swings,songs and traditional dances.!!!!!!!
