Easter in Greece Declares Week of Festivities and Fasting
Easter stands as Greece’s grand holiday with three weeks of carnival and seven weeks of Lent ending in Easter celebrations. In Athens the Plaka leads the revelry while St John’s Church marks Holy Week with oil service reading 12 Passion Gospels and midnight Easter procession. Eggs are red to symbolize Christ’s blood and tapping contests bring good fortune. candlelit Good Friday processions culminate in the Easter night blaze and bells, fireworks, and sirens fill the air. The post Easter week resumes dancing and feasting, climaxing on the Sunday of St Thomas when leftover candles are lit before icons.
