Known as the “festival of lights”, it is common to celebrate Diwali by lighting lamps and bursting crackers.

Every village, town and city is lit up with thousands of lamps everywhere. This lighting of lamps symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. Diwali always starts with a thorough cleaning and decoration of the home. This is also a time to make traditional rangolis. People visit each other, dress up resplendently, exchange gifts, conduct rituals and poojas and come together to enjoy feasts and burst firecrackers.

The exuberant festival of lights enables one to approach the most profound aspects of life joyfully and as a celebration.

Easter is the most important festival of the Greek Orthodox Church.

It starts 7 weeks before Easter Sunday and comes to its peak during the Holy week. This is when services are held every evening in the churches. On Good Friday, a special celebration takes place. We have the Epitaphios that is full of flowers and people gather at the squares and make the tour of the town.

Easter is on Good Saturday at midnight when people go to church and get the Holy Light. At midnight exactly, the priest appears holding a lighted torch and shares the Holy Flame.Then fireworks explode in the streets around the church. The people bring the burning candles at home and make a sign of a cross above their door.  This custom is supposed to bring good fortune upon the house. After midnight, families and friends eat magiritsa (it's a soup). On Sunday morning we grill the  lamb for lunch accompanied by wine and dances.

This festival is of great importance in all the regions of Greece. I also like it because we have fun and all the families are gathered together.
