Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend

It is the culmination of Lent and the celebration of Easter here on Symi and in Greece, but it is going to be quieter than usual, to say the least. We have had a couple of dynamite bombs going off this week, but hardly any hand-thrown crackers, and a lot less noise than usual, for obvious reasons. The services will be held behind closed doors, and many will be relayed via TV or streaming, or whatever can be managed so people can celebrate from the safety of their homes. I will be taking the weekend off from the blog, so will come back to you on Tuesday with any news there might be, and in the meantime, I will leave you with a few recent images. As you can see, after praising the weather, it turned around and slapped me in the face, but it’s nothing unmanageable. Have a good weekend.
