Easter in Greece.

Traditions

santorini-easter-03In Greece, Easter activities start a week before Easter and, in the lead up to Good Friday, church services are held each night. More and more people attend throughout the week, with the largest turnout for the Anastasi mass on Holy Saturday, which marks the night of Christ’s resurrection. The mass is timed to finish at midnight and there is a definite feeling of anticipation.

Just before midnight, all the lights are turned off and the priest holds up the light of the eternal flame and lights the candles the congregation are holding. In some parts of Greece, especially on the islands, people take their candles home and draw a cross over their doors with the soot, in a prayer for good luck and blessings.

Following mass, there are often fireworks and, in some places (like Crete), an effigy of Judas is burned. Then people eat, with many taverns open for a post-mass meal. Otherwise, people go home and have a late meal there.
