Easter, or Pascha in Greek, is the most important religious holiday of the Orthodox
Church and holds a special place in the heart of Greeks. Most of the customs practiced
in Greece at Easter originated in the very distant past and were later adapted as
Christianity spread. Easter time in Greece is a truly immersive experience, where the
visitor is no mere observer of the landscape or events, but an active participant in the
land’s social and cultural life. The colors and sounds of spring make it an even more
mesmerizing experience.
