I Flew To Athens For The Greek Orthodox Easter 🇬🇷
Ойын-сауық
◼︎I returned to Athens, my favorite city in Greece, to experience the magical Midnight Ceremony of Greek Orthodox Easter, where everyone lights a candle symbolizing Jesus' eternal flame, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display. Before joining the festivities, I did what I always do when I return to Athens: I sought out some delicious, juicy gyros.

I'm a Black British Royal Navy veteran, married to a Greek woman I met when I was based in Cyprus. I visited Athens a few times with her & it was always a great city, although its unfortunate how the Greek economy has made life difficult for young Greeks. Glad you enjoyed the place ❤🇬🇷🇬🇧

What race do you consider Greeks ? And why did you have to state that you’re Black with British? Are you saying ethnic Greeks and British people are only white?

I just came back from Athens! The plan was to stay there for 4 days but I ended up staying for 14 days! Such a charming city 🇬🇷
You are our favourite tourist!!! And to be honest you are no longer a tourist in Hellas (Greece) but an honorary Hellene (Greek) yourself! Thank you for loving my country bro you are always welcome!!

For all who wpuld like to know, the area Emeka visited is Kipseli, down town Athens, the place he went to eat is in Fokionos Negri, a street full of restaurants and cafes and the Church is St. George in St. George's square, one of the most urban places in Athens.
During easter almost everyone in the city goes for vacation in the countryside to spend it with their families, very little amount of people are left and Athens is pretty empty. Anyways glad you enjoyed it🧡 you're always welcome here
Happy Orthodox Easter to Greece.

You are filming in the locale of "Fokionos Negri" mall and "Kipselis Square"😂, you asked Albanians and not local Greeks for directions to the nearest gyros fast food restaurant in Kipseli Square (they are the ones sitting in front of the closed off area where construction of a new station for the undeground railway system is underway), and you did attend the Mass for the Resurrection of Crist at the square in front of the St George church! I grew up in that neighborhood. 🤩 Ask me for directions next time. 🤩

Welcome back my brother! Enjoy your time here. Καλό Πάσχα!❤
Holy Saturday night/vigil is the most holy nights of the whole year, Emeka. I hope you felt that while you were there among all the people who received the Light (represented in the candle) - Christ's Light. The midnight service is 3 hours long.
Christ has Risen!
Welcome back to the Greece 🇬🇷 bro !! Good bless you !
Wait until you go to easter in a village...this is a city where traditions are still kept but they are mellowed down...greek easter in a village is something you will never forget

Thanks for sharing your experience- Chris is Risen!
If you truly want to see Easter check the rocket war of Chios, the explosions of Kalymnos and Corfu as a whole. These are some of the must experiences not only in Ellas bit the entire world
14:30 Funnily enough the service is just getting started 😂It ends around 2 to 3am because it's a big celebration. Great video! Happy to see you enjoy the trip!
Always welcome🇬🇷
Hey friend, judging from your surname you are originally (your parents) from Nigeria, like my husband (he’s from NY but his parents are from Ambia State, Nigeria,actually we were there in February & then we went to Greece). I’m glad you feel this way for my country!!!
You are always welcome thank you for the video
The Greeks love you!! No other country will love you like the Greeks!!
Christos Anesti! Welcome to Athens, enjoy your stay.
Enjoy your trip mate ✌️ If you like galaktobouriko, be sure to try bougatsa 🤤
Christ is Risen ! Next year you have to visit Ethiopian Orthodox celebration in Addis Ababa.
«Ἀναστήτω ὁ Θεός, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυγέτωσαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτόν» "May God arise, and his enemies were scattered, and those who hated him fled from his face" this happened in this square, brother.
Christos Anesti!
Thanks for sharing your journey!
after resurection we have family feasts eating a traditional dish that is called "mageiritsa". You should try it its very tasty.

Man youre lucky if you had arived Friday before Easter you would have hard time to find souvkaki,its one of the only days that they dont open cause of the the orthodox fast.

Hi, Greeks fast in Holy Week and do not eat Gyro because it contains meat. You can officially eat meat after Saturday midnight resurrection church service. I am surprised you found one on Holy Saturday!! Well done!
You are a true friend.
I also love Athens, my friend. And I am from an island in Greece. Go figure!

Greece has changed much, the attitude of Greek people towards foreigners have also changed since Xrisi Avgi disappeared.Growing up in Greece as a black person around 2000s things started changing, I left there in 2008 and I went back in 2022 and when in Thessaloniki most people welcomed us I have since returned there 3 times from 2022 to now and enjoyed it Kirkira was my best place to visit

Next year come to Greece but come to the island of Kalymnos! Real Easter is here! 4 days of Easter traditions.. with the peek on Easter Sunday. Just had an amazing night (tonight) with dynamites (tradition) and fireworks! Check it out and think about it for next year..😉😉😉😉
