    I'm a Palestinian Greek Orthodox myself, and all these traditions are part of my childhood and my adulthood as well: the lamb, the eggs (even though we play that game on Easter Sunday and with so many colorful eggs - not just red), the sweets... etc.
    I love this video, brings back so many memories.

    My wife's Portuguese neighbor used to make her an Easter challah bread in the form of a baby doll (Boiled egg in shell for the face.).
    She told her about the first Easter after WW2 rationing ended, which continued for much longer in parts of western Europe after the armistice than it did in other places, and how the little girls held on to their Easter dolls for that much longer that year, afraid that kind of good food would disappear again.

      makis pas 98% is what the church wants you to believe; like other absurdities the church wants you to believe that aren't true. Either I only know people who are part of the 2% or your argument is false. Plus, I am not a communist, communist themselves don't 'believe' in money and/or ownership and in the end the food in Greece is delicious and way older than Christianity itself.
