Athens Holy Week

28 Mar 2013 - 30 Apr 2013
Place: Athens

Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the most important days, people mourn the Christ, and Friday is the holiest day, no work is allowed, not even for cooking. On Saturday at midnight, it's the symbolic change of the day and the resurrection of Christ. People have their first meal, a soup called "magiritsa". Sunday is the day dedicated to eating! Since early morning people are up to grill the whole lamb or sheep, and have a contest of breaking red painted eggs, symbolizing the victory of life over death.
