Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday dinner which is served around 2:oo-3:00 in the afternoon is a whole family gathering where the center of the table is the roast lamb on the spit and the red eggs which people tap with each other, trying to avoid cracking their own egg. He, whose egg doesn't break, is considered lucky.

Easter Sunday afternoon the faithful gather once more for prayer with lighted candles. All sing the hymn, "Christ is Risen from the Dead". The people greet one another joyously, saying: "Christ is Risen", the Easter salutation which is answered, "Truly He is Risen". The Gospel is read in various languages, proclaiming the Good News of Resurrection all over the universe without discrimination.
