Rule NO 7

Do you see my excess baggage? hahahaha
  It's Holy week here in Greece and everyone is getting ready for the biggest holiday of the year..Easter. Saturday night there is a midnight mass, where all the Greek people gather outside of church holding candles. The candles are a big thing here!! Everywhere you look, you see handmade candles(labades) being sold. One of the stores I sell my work to,  will be using one of my pendants as an ornament for the labada :)

Easter day is celebrated with lots of food  and music! It's tradition to cook lamb on a spit, ideally on an island.... but I will slow roasting  mine in the oven with lots of rosemary and garlic. desert is Joanna's famous chocolate covered cheesecake ;0 
Another tradition is Easter bread,(tsoureki) which is similar to challah bread, but sweeter.
 Happy Easter to all the Greek people :) and Russian too, since we celebrate our Easters together.

  3. Happy Easter to all Orthodox people, not only Greek and Russian. I will celebrate Easter this Sunday too :-) I will make the braided bread (not sweet) and red eggs. Nice reconnecting with you! xoxo

  4. Joanna,
    What a beautiful tradition you have in Greece. I have seen this Easter bread, but have never tried it. It looks so yummy. That is so special that your pendant is displayed at one of the stores. I love that all the Greek people gather outside holding their candles.

    Have a blessed weekend.

    Love,
