Holy Week Traditions
Lazarus Saturday: Children go door-to-door singing traditional hymns and offering "lazarakia" (sweet buns), a custom symbolizing the resurrection of Lazarus. 

Good Friday: The Epitaphios (Christ's bier), adorned with fresh flowers, is carried in solemn processions from the churches of Agios Antonios, Agios Ioannis, Agios Nikolaos, and Analipsi. These converge at Poseidonion Square, where a collective prayer is offered. 

Holy Saturday (Anastasi): At midnight, the Resurrection is celebrated with fireworks and the chanting of "Christos Anesti" ("Christ is Risen"). In Analipsi, a wooden boat is set alight in a reenactment reminiscent of the Armata Festival. 

Easter Sunday: The "Burning of Judas" takes place in Kounoupitsa Square, where an effigy of Judas is burned, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
