On Saturday, beginning about 10pm there is the Celebration of The Resurrection.
It ends at midnight when Easter Sunday begins.
The Greek Orthodox celebration is slightly different from that of Western Europe and America.
Everyone lights a candle and then watches the fireworks.
Afterwards the bands play and march through streets, and the dense crowds.
Arianna and Maria watching the fireworks
After the fireworks we wait to see the bands.
You can see Arianna and Antonis in the foreground.
All ages. I have no snaps of the bands. I made movies. They are fun.
Off to bed and Rome.
