We're sharing with you images of the
Orthodox Pasxa (Greek Easter) !!!
Red is the color that dominates, lending its color to the
Easter Eggs painted on the Thursday before Easter & embellishing the
Tsourekia (Easter Breads) that households make to give away to friends alongside the
Koulouria (Easter Biscuits)
The table is set usually outdoors, with family & friends & the bar-b-q takes place in nature when the weather permits.
Take a look for yourself, since a picture's worth a thousand words...
