For my Easter Holidays I go to my fathers's village with my family. I have a great time. I am with my cousins, my uncle, my aunt and my grandparents.

At midnight of Holy Saturday, we go to the church. All the village is there. When we go home at night we eat lemon soup, eggs and flaounes.

The next day we celebrate Sunday Easter at my grandma's house.  We eat souvla and many other traditional Cypriot food and then we go and play some traditional games like Sakkoulodromies, Avgodromies and pulling rope.

I love Eater holidays.

Early in the morning of Good Friday we arrived in the village with the car of my father. The grandmother was waiting for us in the front door. Once we walked in, gave me a pleasantly strong odor. "It's the fresh distemper we did yesterday on the walls" explained the grandmother. And indeed, inside and outside, the walls were whitewashed. So was the whole village.
 
After we ate the sweets offered us, grandmother commanded: "Andrea run here beside the church to help the decoration of Epitaph and you like Maria  higher will help me to knead buns and flaounes". When we started and when finished I did not understand. So pleasant was all this.
 
The next day, Holy Saturday, was all ready. We only coloring eggs. Early in the morning the grandmother had gone to the fields to pick red poppies. Threw the hot water and you what beautiful red eggs.
 
The evening started together for the "Kalon Loon". Once the priest chanted the Risen Christ sounded joyful bells. Immediately hugs and greetings "Christ is Risen" – "Truly Risen". Outside in the churchyard young, the girls of the village had already lit the "Lampratzia" and above burning Judas. Small children threw firecrackers while parents advised to exercise caution.
 
`When we returned home we sat around Easter table grandmother had prepared early. Crack red eggs. We ate with appetite the soup, the turkey, the flaounes.
 
Easter Sunday was a day of games Easter in large threshing floor, in the center of the village. True festival took place there. `This was united village. Sushi erected and lit the song.
 
Although already passed a fortnight is still alive in me pleasant memories of the unforgettable Easter I spent this year in my father's village. How to forget the customs, games, festive tables! `All this inherited from generation to generation and villages hold them still as a valuable amulet and part of our cultural heritage.coolwinkcheeky

  Every year, I am happy when is Easter coming. All my family go to my grandparents to the village. We start preparations on Thursday making flaounes and painting eggs. In the evening we go to the church.

  On Friday during the day we clean the house and in the evening we go to the church.

  On Saturday we go to the church with our candles and we wait midnight to come Agio Fos. After that we go home to eat soup and break eggs.

  The Sunday is my favourite day because we play lots of games like: running competition, running with egg on the spoon, jumping with the bags, wipe and who wins will get medal.

  Every Easter we spend perfect time and wait for the next year. cool

Later that evening we ate seafood in a fishtavern. On Holy Saturday we visited my grandparents. At 23:30 we went to the church and waited for the Ressurection of Jesus Christ. After that we returned home to eat the traditional mageiritsa. Next morning we went all together (parents, grandparents, uncles and  cousins), to eat at a tavern in Stamata, lamb cooked on a spit.
