The Orthodox Greeks are celebrating Christs Resurrection in the
traditional way in Greece, Cyprus and all Greek communities around the
word. At midnight, the churches welcomed the Holy Light, which arrived
with a special flight of the Olympic Airways from Jerusalem. "The
triumph of the Resurrection should be experienced as the triumph of
life, of the solidarity of humans, of prospect and hope," stated
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in his message. It is worth noting
that as per an opinion poll by Kapa Research for To Vima newspaper
Easter continues to be an integral part of our national identity. The
State and political leadership is celebrating Easter in the country
side. Meanwhile, preparations for Easter Sunday dinner are taking place
with unsettled weather and local rainfalls in the greatest part of the
country, while an improvement in weather is expected as of this
afternoon.
