Helloooooo...!

Easter in UK and Western Europe (Catholic or otherwise) is nearly upon us!

Traditionally the most important celebration of Christianity.

On this episode from the archives, from April 2020, I'm re-publishing the episode about Eastern Orthodox Easter where I describe in some general terms what is happening during the Lent and Easter Sunday.


As is the most important date of the religious calendar and as such, is celebrated in style!

The Lent lasts 40 days and then follows the Holy Week (another lent period) and the the Easter Sunday celebrations!

What is tsoureki?

What do the Greek eat on Palm Sunday?

Do they really paint red the hens eggs? Why?

And what is "mageiritsa" that's eaten after the midnight mass on Saturday to Sunday morning?

Centre piece of Easter Sunday is a whole spit roast lamb on charcoal, or two (or as is the case with my family 3)...and kokoretsi...

If you're nostalgic (as a Greek that's stuck abroad and missing it this year) tempted and hungry do have a listen!


Music by Pavlos Kapralos.


We will back next week with a new episode...!


Much love and happy Easter!
