Agdgoma-Easter in Georgia – Where Faith Blooms and Traditions Come Alive

“Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!” — you will definitely hear these words if you come to Georgia for one of the most important holidays for Georgians — Easter. For one week after the glorious Resurrection, Orthodox Christians greet each other in this way.

Easter is the biggest and most important holiday in Georgia. In our country, we call it Agdgoma.

Before Easter, many people fast for 40 days. They do not eat meat, milk, or eggs. They eat special food called samarkhvo.

Bzoba (Palm  Sunday)

One week before Easter, we celebrate Bzoba. Bzoba (Palm Sunday) is one of the greatest movable religious holidays, and internationally it is called the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusalem. Georgians call the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusalem Bzoba (Palm Sunday). In other countries, people use palm branches, but in  Georgia, we use Boxwood. believers go to churches carrying boxwood branches and candles. In churches, the boxwood is blessed as a symbol of welcoming the Lord.

Red Friday and the Magic Root

On the Friday before Easter, we call it Red Friday. This is the day for dyeing eggs. We don't use stickers or plastic colors. We use a natural root called Endro (madder root) and onion skins. We boil the eggs with the roots until they turn a beautiful, deep red color. The egg is a symbol of life, and the red egg is a symbol of the Resurrection of the Savior.

Growing the "Jejili"

Two weeks before Easter, children help their parents grow Jejili. We put wheat seeds on a wet cloth. After a few days, beautiful bright green grass grows. This green grass is a symbol of new life. We put our Easter eggs on top of this soft green carpet.

🍰 Paska and the Big Feast

The house smells wonderful because of the Paska. This is a tall, sweet bread with raisins and many spices like nutmeg and saffron. . Paska carries a symbolic meaning in that it represents a kind of blessed food on our Easter table.

On Easter Sunday, families have a big dinner called a Supra. At the Easter table, you will find Chakapuli is made with lamb and a variety of Georgian herbs — tarragon, coriander, green onions, leeks, green plums, and white wine, fried chicken , khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread)  fish dishes, pkhali (vegetable spreads), various sauces, salads, fresh vegetables, herbs, bread, and, of course, Georgian wine.

Remembering Ancestors

On the Monday after Easter, families visit the cemetery. People carry painted eggs, paskas, other treats, and wine to the graves of their family members. A red egg is rolled on the grave to share the joy of Easter with them. It is a day of love and remembrance, not sadness.

Most believers spend Easter night in church and return home in the morning. Therefore, the Easter table is set for breakfast.

Everything begins with the main phrase: “Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!” This is followed by the ritual of tapping eggs, and the festive table begins with blessings and greetings.

The most important thing is for a Christian to understand what happened at the Resurrection and to be filled with the joy of this Resurrection. The Creed also confirms this: "I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen."

Greek Easter (Pascha =Πάσχα) is the most important religious holiday in Greece. It includes a 40-day fast (νηστεία), Holy Week, and the celebrations of Easter Sunday.

Holy Week Traditions:

Holy Thursday: People dye eggs red and bake traditional cookies (koulourakia – κουλουράκια) and sweet bread (tsoureki – τσουρέκι).

Good Friday: It is a sad day. The Epitaphios (Επιτάφιος), Christ’s tomb, is decorated with flowers and carried in the streets during a candlelight procession.

Holy Saturday (Midnight): People go to church for the Resurrection. They light candles (lampades – λαμπάδες) from the Holy Flame and take them home. They say “Christos Anesti” which means “Christ is Risen”. It’s a great wish for us.

Tsougrisma (τσούγκρισμα – egg tapping): On Easter Sunday, people tap red eggs together. The one that doesn’t break wins.

Easter Sunday:

Food: After the fast, families eat a big meal. They usually roast lamb or goat on a spit (souvla – σούβλα) and eat it with red eggs, bread and wine.

Magiritsa soup (μαγειρίτσα): A traditional soup (made from lamb intestines and innards) eaten after midnight on Saturday to end the fast.

Note: Greek Easter is sometimes on a different date than Western Easter due to the use of the Julian calendar.

Czech Easter (Velikonoce) is one of the most important spring traditions in our country. It celebrates the arrival of spring and new life. People decorate eggs, called kraslice, using different colors and patterns. On Easter Monday, boys gently whip girls with a decorated willow whip called a pomlázka. This tradition is meant to bring health and youth for the whole year. In return, girls give boys painted eggs, sweets, or ribbons. Families also bake traditional food like sweet braided bread (mazanec) or a lamb-shaped cake. Easter in the Czech Republic is a joyful time full of colors, traditions, and togetherness.

Our students were asked to brainstorm on the first thing that comes to mind when they think about Easter in Greece. Here is our presentation on our traditions and our word cloud!

Red Eggs (Κόκκινα Αυγά): On Holy Thursday, we paint eggs red. The red color is for the blood of Jesus. On Easter Sunday, we play a game: we "crack" our eggs against each other!

Easter Candle / Labada (Λαμπάδα): This is a tall, beautiful candle. Godparents (nonos/nona) give it to children as a gift. We carry it to church on Saturday night and with it we bring home the Holy Light.

Church in Holy Week (Εκκλησία τη Μεγάλη Εβδομάδα): Every evening during Holy Week, people go to church. It is a quiet time to pray and listen to beautiful hymns.

Epitaph (Επιτάφιος): On Good Friday, we go to church to see the Epitaphios. It is a wooden "tomb" decorated with many beautiful flowers. Inside it holds a holy icon of Christ’s body. In the evening, we walk behind it in the streets.

Cross (Σταυρός): The symbol of Jesus. It reminds us of his love for people.

Firecrackers-Fireworks (Βεγγαλικά): On Saturday night, at 12:00, we say "Christos Anesti" (Christ is Risen). Then, the sky fills with bright lights and loud sounds!

Lamb on the spit (Αρνί στη σούβλα): On Easter Sunday, families cook a whole lamb outside over a fire. It is a big tradition and we eat it for lunch.

Kokoretsi (Κοκορέτσι): A special dish made with meat and herbs. It cooks on the spit next to the lamb.

Tsoureki bread(Τσουρέκι): A sweet, soft bread. It smells like orange and spices. We usually eat it for breakfast or dessert.

Easter biscuits / Koulouria (Κουλούρια): Small, sweet cookies that smell like vanilla. Kids love to help their grandmothers bake them!

Chocolate (Σοκολάτα): Everyone loves chocolate! During Easter, we buy chocolate eggs or bunnies.

Easter Bunny (Λαγός): Even though it is a Western tradition, many children in Greece now receive chocolate bunnies as a treat.

EASTER TRADITIONS IN ROME - ITALY

Easter in Rome is one of the most important celebrations of the year.
It is a mix of religious traditions, food, and family moments.

On Easter Sunday, many people go to St. Peter's Square to attend the Pope’s Mass and receive the special blessing called “Urbi et Orbi”.

On Good Friday, the Via Crucis takes place at the Colosseum, where people follow a religious procession with candles.

Food is very important: families eat traditional dishes like lamb and the Colomba di Pasqua, a cake that symbolizes peace.

Children receive chocolate Easter eggs with a surprise inside, which is one of their favorite traditions.

On Easter Monday, called Pasquetta, people go on picnics and spend time outdoors with friends and family.

Serbian Easter Traditions

Egg Dyeing (Bojenje jaja): On Good Friday, families dye eggs, primarily in red. The first red egg is called "Čuvarkuća" (The Guardian of the Home) and is kept throughout the year for protection and good luck.

Egg Tapping (Tucanje jajima): This is the most joyful tradition, especially for children. Everyone picks an egg and taps it against another person's egg; the one whose egg remains unbroken is the winner.

Easter Family Feast (Uskršnji ručak): A rich festive meal that brings the whole family together. It usually includes "Pogača" (traditional bread), roasted meat, and various local specialties to celebrate the end of the fast.

Church Procession (Litija): On Easter morning, many people attend the festive liturgy. In many places, a "Litija" (religious procession) circles the church, symbolizing the victory of life over death.

Locsolkodás (Watering): On Easter Monday, boys and men visit girls to "water" them so they "don't wilt." Traditionally, this involved buckets of cold well water, but today it is usually done with perfume or cologne. In exchange, the men receive Hímes tojás (decorated eggs) or treats.

Hímes tojás (Painted Eggs): The egg is the symbol of life and resurrection. Hungarian folk art is famous for specific techniques like írókázás (using a wax-resist tool) or patkolás (shoeing eggs with tiny metal ornaments).

Easter Meals: The feast marks the end of the 40-day Lent. The traditional menu consists of smoked ham, hard-boiled eggs, horseradish, and braided sweet bread called kalács.

Religious Context

Holy Week: Important days include Maundy Thursday (when church bells "go to Rome" and stay silent), Good Friday (a day of strict fasting), and Holy Saturday (evening resurrection processions).

Food Blessing: On Easter Sunday, many families take baskets of food to church to be blessed by the priest before eating.

Sprinkling poems are:

"In my little scribbly-scrabbly garden,
Golden rain is in my head.
I water you, beautiful flower,
So you don't wither away here!"

"I was in a green forest,
I saw a blue violet,
It was about to wither,
May I water it?"

aster (Pascha) is the most significant celebration in the Greek Orthodox Church and the most cherished time of year for Greeks. It symbolizes the victory of life over death and the hope of rebirth.

For us, Easter is deeply connected to springtime, family, and returning to our ancestral roots. It is the time when villages come alive, grandmothers prepare traditional recipes, and people gather around festive tables. The word "Pascha" means "passage" – the passage from darkness to light, a journey we celebrate with deep devotion and immense joy.

Easter is one of the most significant religious celebrations in Romania, marked by a variety of customs and traditions that reflect the country’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. The following are some of the most notable Easter traditions:

🌸 Decorating Easter Eggs
A central tradition is the decoration of Easter eggs, most commonly in red, which symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ. In certain regions, particularly in northern Romania, intricate patterns and traditional motifs are carefully crafted using time-honored techniques.

✨ Attending the Midnight Church Service
On the night of Holy Saturday, believers attend the Resurrection service held at midnight. During this ceremony, the priest proclaims “Christ is risen!”, and participants receive lighted candles, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Many take this sacred light back to their homes.

🐰 Traditional Easter Foods
Easter is also associated with the preparation of specific traditional dishes, including lamb, cozonac (a sweet bread), and pasca (a cheese-based dessert). These foods are often taken to church to be blessed before the Easter meal.

🥚 Egg Tapping Tradition
Another well-known custom is the egg tapping game, in which participants gently strike decorated eggs against each other. The individual whose egg remains intact is believed to enjoy good fortune.

✨ Spring Cleaning and Symbolic Renewal
In preparation for Easter, households are thoroughly cleaned, reflecting the idea of spiritual and physical renewal. It is also customary for people to wear new clothing on Easter Sunday, symbolizing a fresh beginning.

Easter is one of the most important holidays for Romanians and, in the Brașov area, it is full of authentic traditions.

Preparations begin with cleaning the house, a symbol of purification, and continue with the preparation of cozonac, Easter cake and dyeing red eggs, which symbolize the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

On Easter night, people go to church, receive the Holy Light and say "Christ is risen!", taking the light home as a sign of protection and hope.

The Easter meal brings the family together, with traditional dishes and the custom of cracking eggs.

A special element in Brașov is the tradition of the Junilor, who parade on horseback, symbolizing continuity and rebirth. Easter is a moment of faith, tradition and unity.
