Easter celebration

Every Easter my family and I decorate the house with various Ester decorations. On Holy week we go to church. On Holy Thursday we paint eggs red and decorate the in baskets. On Holy Friday we have the custom of epitaph. The epitaph symbolises the tomb of Christ and is decorated with many beautiful flowers. Finally on Holy Saturday night,we go to the church with our candles and celebrate the Resurrection.Cheerful bells are ringing everywhere and the sky is full of fireworks. As soon as we return from church we eat the traditional Greek food "magiritsa"and we crack the eggs.
