In Greek religion, Easter is considered as the "Feast of Feasts". Easter celebrations glorify the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Greek religion, every Sunday honors the rebirth of the divine savior of mankind but one hundred days also are dedicated to Easter, 50 before its actual preparation, and another 50 after it in commemorating the glorification of the Lord. |
