RE: Greek Easter Customs #2 - Τsourekia, Eggs And Epitaphios

They burn Judas in Crete too.

Alas I’ve never been in Greece during Easter. 😫

I haven’t seen or heard of the Klíkia before. Is it supposed to look like something? A basket, a frog, a chicken, a child holding the egg?

Kali anastasi!

Sort:  

I didn't know they had it in Crete too. Nice to hear that.

The Kliki is supposed to be a child holding a red egg, I guess I should edit that, thanks ;)

Καλή Ανάσταση! :)

:) yeah I’ve heard stories of the burning of Judas in Crete. Not sure where the έθιμο originated but it seems like a nice pagan touch to Easter.

Good resurrection!

: )

I think I should turn to my cousin, she had a university project on traditions of Thrace, but I don't know if easter εθιμα were in it. Perhaps I could use it as a source for another post. Thanks for the idea! :)

Looking forward to it!
