Greek Easter, also known as Pascha, is one of the most significant religious celebrations in Greece. It usually falls on a Sunday in April or May, following the Orthodox Christian calendar. The week leading up to Easter, known as Holy Week, involves various religious services and traditions, culminating in a midnight church service on Easter Sunday. A popular tradition during Greek Easter is the preparation of special foods, such as tsoureki (a sweet bread) and red-dyed eggs. Families often gather to break their fast with a festive meal, which may include roasted lamb. The celebration emphasizes themes of resurrection and renewal, reflecting the core beliefs of the Christian faith.
