I am raised Greek Orthodox and Holy week (from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday) I was essentially off the grid. Fasting and going to church was all that was happening.

I especially like the Good Friday service because the chanting of the service is beautiful. And of course there is the midnight resurrection service that is a celebration of re-birth. I had an opportunity to experience the Saturday service in South Africa. The service was celebrated with fireworks which was almost new years eve like. Everyone was hugging and celebrating that Christ had risen. I have never experienced anything like that here at home.

For those who celebrate - Happy Easter.
