Orthodox Easter is not only a religious event. Easter in Pafos is has a significant cultural meaning as well. The houses smell of freshly made bread and cheese pies (Flaounes), the children play in the streets traditional games, the teenagers collect old wood and wooden old furniture in the yards of the churches to burn “Judas” during the evening of Holy Saturday.
Do not miss Holy Saturday evening Mass of
Agios Neofytos, the monastery just a few kilometres from the city centre towards Polis. After the Mass join the crowd to light the Holy Light which you need to keep alive for 40 days to give you luck. On Sunday enjoy the feast of oven baked lamp and all the other traditional delicacies.
Christos Anesti !!!
