Page Four: The Belle Air was a superb restaurant, owned by my friend's brother. We hung out here while in Greece, and were able to enjoy lots of great food with a local flair.
Easter was such a wonderful time in Greece; much different than western Easter celebrations that have more to do with the Easter bunny than the real reason for the holiday. Even though Greek Orthodox members have a version of the "Easter Egg," the egg symbol has more history than over here.
On Good Friday, starting with extinguishing all the lights in the cathedral, Greek Orthodox people carry a beautiful representation of Christ through the streets to remind everyone of His spiritual journey before His ultimate sacrifice. Then, with a fervent excitement, they return It to their cathedral and light all the candles and lights that had been extinguished. It was a beautiful site! Too bad we didn't get to stay for the whole Easter celebration.
