GREEK EASTER
So I don't know if you all know but I'm Greek!!!!!
I have Easter a week after English Easter and we have different traditions ;)
Think I'll let you know a few of our traditions:
Church all week (before the weekend) and on the Friday and Saturday something called the Ebitaphio (there is no word in English- asked my Mum already) and is a symbolic bier of Christ!! I don't go through week of Fri/Sat night- very lazy. But I do go on Saturdays in the mornings..... I wake up at 6am to be leave the house at 7!! This year it was torture as I was out the night before but I managed to do it!! :D
Another tradition is.. get ready.. no meat or dairy for 40 days!!!! I don't do that either as I can't live without it but my parents do it for a week and so does my sis!
Who lives without this????
A traditional food which is made at Easter is called Flaounes and this is what it looks like:
I don't really like them, but other do!
They are made from easter cheese and made on Holy Thursday (These are made for after fasting is up)
On the Sat night we go to church and we celebrate Jesus' resurrection and we have soup after!! (I know very random... but us Greeks are :D)
On the Sundayy all we do is eat eat eat!!!!!! Especially those people who haven't eaten meat/dairy after 40 days!!
This is what a Ebitaphio looks like just incase you were wondering!!!
