What are your favorite Greek Orthodox traditions?

[kosta_karapinotis]

There are so many Greek Orthodox traditions and each are beautiful in their own way! My personal favourites are attending church throughout the week with family and of course spending all of Saturday and Sunday cooking food together with family. Of course, the best part of Easter is the tender lamb that falls off the bone after spending hours on the spit. What is everyone else's favorite Greek Orthodox Easter tradition?

My absolute favorite is Holy Friday and the Epitaphios procession.

Holy Friday in Greece is the culmination of Christ’s Passion and a day of sorrow. Bells toll throughout the country ahead of the 'epitaphios' procession.

Me too, I especially love it when you get to go outside and walk around the whole neighbourhood

I once was in a village with just a few houses here and there... it was so magical, the procession went through the farm fields and you could see the candles flickering from afar.

That sounds beautiful, where was this village?

I love going to church, spending time with family, and eating lamb! Easter is a great time...
