After 40 days of fasting and abstinence (if you are a truly devout Orthodox Christian), the Greeks celebrate the biggest and most important holiday of the year today - Easter Sunday. The party started at midnight with a candle-lighting ceremony at church, complete with fireworks and gunshots vying for attention during the "papas" (priest) singing sermon.

The quality isn't so great - I was trying to be discreet so the angles are off a bit. But it's mostly about the audio anyway.

Looks like I got popped at the end, but just klutzy and dropped the camera - nobody was harmed :)

  • We have the tradition of fireworks in New York City. If this were attempted in Southern California, arrests would be made.
