Bumping as today's Holy Thursday, and we're on the final countdown till Christ will resurrect!

@JMich: I was watching tv yesterday and I saw from SKAI that it seems that rocket launching in Chios might not take place this year as the authorities are thinking about forbidding it...(just thought I'd let you know...)

Not in Chios, but I also heard about it. Considering that fireworks have not been allowed for many years, and the fact that the whole village takes part in the rocket war, I think the number of rockets will be reduced, but not completely removed. Tradition and Tourist Attraction, but we'll see what happens.

It's a-comin'! The endless roasted meat heaven is a-comin'! A couple of days to go!

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!

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...

Just be careful not to get a stomach-ache or something from the excessive consumption of meat you're planning to do...

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)

Hey, it's my nameDay!

Hope we'll get BlaDe Runner anD Nocturne after The Great Starving...

Happy Easter to all our Orthodox GOGgers!

Happy Easter to fellow Orthodox folks!

Καλό Πάσχα και Χρόνια Πολλά!

Happy Easter to all orthodox peeps around!

Your attire is a tad bit out of season. ;-)

Ugh. I ate too much and I need to eat too much again tomorrow...
...bliss...

Darn, and I found it quite fitting, since it's of orthodox origin ;-)
