So today's Holy Friday -we'll be going a little tour around the city to visit all the Epitaphioi (tomb/temple-like structures
that are decorated by flowers and contain an image of Christ's burial inside) and in the evening we'll go to the church to hear the Holy Friday mass and to witness the carrying of the Epitaph of our neighbourhood church till a central square where it'll meet the ones of the other churches of the city. And now thus 2 days remain till Easter...
sunshinecorp: It's a-comin'! The endless roasted meat heaven is a-comin'! A couple of days to go!
Just be careful not to get a stomach-ache or something from the excessive consumption of meat you're planning to do...
leon30: Around here it is customary to
colour boiled chicken eggs and to "fight" with them (basically you knock your egg with your opponent's egg) and the last egg standing gets the ultimate title "Bully" :) We also usually greet one another with the resurrection of Christ on Monday, so until then - celebrate a nice and happy Easter with your family and loved ones all!
Same here. We also knock coloured eggs with each other, though we don't give a specific title to the last egg standing. We also have greetings related to the resurrection of Christ, but we mostly use them on Easter Sunday rather than on Monday: "Christos Anesti" "Alithos" (Christ resurrected -Truly! is an approximate translation)
