Happy Easter and Christos Anesti!



NOTE TO SS: "Christos Anesti"
"Christ is risen!," to be responded with "Alithos Anesti" "Truly He is risen!"

SS, you have until April 27th to throw it around. lol. Right. Greek Easter is April 27th. Mmmmmmm... LEG OF LAMB! *DROOL* Growing up I got to celebrate both Easters, Red eggs AND multi-colored ones. Ham dinner and leg of lamb. Went to church during Holy Week, got my palm, etc... Traditional Greek Orthodox church. I love being greek. I wish my family had stayed more with the traditions and foods. *sigh* But with time, families grow smaller with the loss of loved ones and things change. This year I am celebrating both and I am actually going to dye some eggs tomorrow after we get home from dinner. Not red though, I can't remember the right Rit Dye color. So multi-color it is! And yes, I know it is up to me to carry things on, at least the parts I can remember and the ones that were special to me. Hopefully someday I will be able to pass them on to a next generation.
