Easter, the biggest Greek Orthodox religious feast is celebrated in Cyprus with great solemnity.
This year the Holy Week begins on the 10th of April (Holy Monday) and ends on the 16th of April (Easter Sunday).
Evening services take place throughout the Holy Week and traditional games are organised in many villages on Easter Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. (17 - 18/4/2017).
As the Services of the Holy Week coincide with Spring, the divine Passions seem to relate to the passions and resurrection of Nature and man.
