Celebrating Orthodox Easter in Greece
April 17, 2017- Selegoudi, Taygetos mountain, Laconia, Peloponnesus, south Greece: Sygklino, red eggs, kourabiedes, cheeses, tzatziki, and other traditional dishes are offered on Clean Monday after the forgiveness at the monuments of the cemetery, as the procession of forgiveness goes from house to house. All the followers of the procession are welcome at the table with the treats, and in the afternoon, the procession ends in the village square, where the circle of forgiveness takes place with hugs and kisses, one by one, to cleanse from the vendettas of the past. Afterward, the auction of the Easter bread with the red eggs collected by the procession from the houses takes place, and with the money raised from the auction, the magnificent frescoed interior of the church, including the iconography of Saints Theodoros and more, is maintained. The tradition ends with all the traditional treats brought by each household to the village's municipal cafe, where the priest and the youth become DJs, and the dance with a view of Taygetus finishes the night.

Celebrating Orthodox Easter in Greece
April 14, 2018 – Mystras, Lakonia, Peloponnesus, Southern Greece: Nuns serve plates with spaghetti, preparing the Easter lunch with red eggs, in the beautiful Pantanassa Monastery, which is located in the Byzantine castle-town of Mystras. Mystras, like a miniature replica of the majestic Mount Taygetos, rises above the verdant valley of Eurotas. Historically, the medieval fortress town of Mystras gained prominence after the Fourth Crusade in 1204, when the Crusaders established the Latin Empire (1204-1261) and other states in the Byzantine lands they conquered. The Peloponnese region was occupied by the Frankish knights and became the Principality of Achaea under the Villehardouin family. William II of Villehardouin fortified Mystras and built the castle on the hilltop to subdue the unruly mountain dwellers of Taygetos and secure the defense of the fertile Lacedaemon. The castle had barely been completed when the Prince of Achaea, defeated by Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus at the Battle of Pelagonia in 1259 and made prisoner, was forced to cede the three strongholds of Peloponnese, including Mystras, to the Byzantines as ransom. Mystras soon evolved into a major center of the Byzantine Empire, second only to the capital, Constantinople. It was here that Byzantine art and literature flourished for the last time before the spread of Ottoman conquests in the mid-15th century. This cultural flourishing, coupled with the revival of classical letters and philosophy, became known as the Palaeologan Renaissance. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
