admin– for some people it’s 40 days – Easter Day marks the end of Lent and fasting.

The “ovelias” is eaten with lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice and roast potatoes.
(Grilling chickens and salad platter)
The “ovelias” is the main course preceded by two starters: a variety of salads and some “souvla” – a variety of meats cooked on coal.

Then there is music as Easter is inseparable from dancing! – Adapted from cordelia.typepad.com
