Just to let you know that Chelsea will be playing Manchester on Saturday at 3.00 ish so come to the bar if you want to join our supporters and have a good afternoon.
Friday night the Easter procession with the 'epitaphios' (the coffin of Jesus Christ) will commence after the church service which begins about 7.30 to 9.30. There will be a lot of noise, fire crackers etc to accompany the procession, personally I stay indoors where it is safer and will watch the proceedings from the bar, join me if you wish.
Saturday night is Easter Night and the church service will begin about 11 and the festivities will begin at 12 midnight with the candlelight processesion and a bonfire to burn an effagy of Judas. The tradition of trying to get the lighted candle home before it goes out will take place and once safely home families will join in the traditional eating of the Easter soup, 'magiritsa' made of offal. I have to confess that I am usually tucked up in bed when all this is going on (call me boring if you want).
Sunday is the day for whooppee and a street barbecue in Vrahassi.
Gotta go now and open the shop.
About Me
- Jane Sharp
- There is a little bit of crazy in everyone! And I'm no exception. I have been married to David for 39 years, and George (Little Legs) is my partner in business. He thinks that David should have strangled me a long time ago. They both put up with me,(then again, I put up with them). Together we are a team.Our home is Vrahassi and our neighbours are our extended family. There are eagles above us, mountains around us and the aquamarine Aegean to bathe in. When I am not working I am writing, playing the piano, singing, or keeping company with my mates in the cafeneo. "Yamas!"
