Celebrating Easter

Yesterday, we celebrated Easter Sunday, 

and hosted a picnic lunch, indoors!

Although the weather was perfect for this Canadian 

 expat, my husband's clan, all born and bred Cretans, 

decided it was still too cool to dine al fresco.

Nevertheless, the sun showed up, brilliantly brightening the

 breakfast nook, to cast a sweet light on lemony cookies,  

tasty pastries and traditional, red Easter eggs.

In the dining room, Ms. Betty, our beautiful bunny, 

overlooked all the busyness. Behind her, a famous bunch 

of boating buddies, indulge in their own lovely luncheon.

Taking a little rest, before my guests arrived, I checked 

off the last of my chores, just as the doorbell rang!

 Soon, we were all outside, under the warm, Cretan sun, 

and amid leafy vineyards and thick olive groves, we

 tended to the fire, as we joyfully toasted, 

 ''Χριστός Aνέστη! - Christos Anesti! - Christ is Risen!''

Before long, our indoor picnic lunch was served, and

 just in time, too, as the spring breeze caught wind of

 our festivities, and picked up speed, eager to catch

 a whiff of the delicious aromas floating in the air!

It was a glorious day of good food, leisurely strolls 

in the flowery meadows, and family fun. But most 

importantly, it was a gathering to celebrate 

and honour the Resurrection of God's Son.

Thanks for visiting!
