Easter is the most important celebration here in Greece. 40 days before easter each of us (The majority of Greeks are Christian Orthodox) has to keep a festing, he/she must not eat meat,olive oil and dairy products.
In the last week, we have to go to church every night. In Friday we parade the epitaph (epitaphios,επιταφιος in Greek) around the church. After that we say tomorrow is saturday and sunday comes afterwards, nahh im kidding. In saturday we represent the passions of Christ by hanging a wooden cross in the middle of our church.
In Sunday, after we have ended the festing, we impale a goat and with its guts we make Kokoretsi. I know that sounds weird. In easter we also make round cookies and we paint our eggs red. In sunday it is a must that we go on others houses to wish them happy easter. Unlike America, we don't hide our eggs, we play a little game, there are two people, each has an egg and the first one says: Xristos Anesti (Christ has risen) and hits the other egg with his egg and the second one says Alithos Anesti (he truly has risen) whoevers egg cracks first he loses
