Easter
Easter is a significant holiday in the Greek Orthodox tradition, and associated celebrations include both church attendance, sometimes for hours, and meals, also sometimes for hours. In the evening of Saturday before Easter Sunday, there is a candlelight service at midnight when people bring a candle to be lit in church and then hopefully taken home still lit.
