Good Friday
An important part of the Easter celebrations is one that many visitors miss. The decorating of the church and Bier for the Good Friday services. I visited several churches Where the ladies of the villages and the children had gathered flowers and were preparing for the service. Firstly Xirosterni Then Souri Kalamitsi Amigdali Exopoli During the service the Bier is carried around the village and visits the graveyard where the graves are blessed before returning to the church and the congregation passing underneath the Bier which is held aloft at the church door. This is said to be good luck. Don't miss it next year!
