Τhis is what we Greeks call Easter:

to decorate the festive board properly...

we spike a lamb...
we srike red eggs...

we prepare a festive board and we dance...


and eat to a surfeit!
We had a wonderful time this year!

Thank you for your kind words, Marina. All over Europe there are beautiful churches, but they are all different.
