Beautiful sentiment on the Greek Orthodox experience of Easter. And nice to see that even in Hollywood, there are some who are still profoundly religious!

But I think that she meant "Tang", not "Ting"! LOL! She's old enough to remember the stuff, but not quite old enough to remember the name correctly.

Xristos anesti!

In our Serbian Orthodox Pascha morning liturgy, we said “Christ is Risen!” in Slavonic, Serbian, Greek, and English. We sang the Paschal Troparion in that most-beautiful, heartwarming Serbian tone. And at the Paschal lunch, the lamb seemed never to stop coming. There was enough for firsts, seconds, and to take some home! Of course, we had those red-dyed eggs, and the egg-cracking game. No Tang, though. There were lots of exchanges of “Hristos voskrese!Voistinu voskrese!”, complete with triple-kisses. And we had live Serbian folk music, too.

It was a wonderful day.

>> But I think that she meant “Tang”, not “Ting”! <<

Read her description of it: “Ting” was ready-made carbonated grape-fruit juice. “Tang” is mostly a powder of citric acid, sugar, and orange coloring, with a vaguely orange flavor, usually added to flat water.

Truly He is Risen! Red eggs and chocolate crosses for us.....and of course the whole roasted lamb on the spit, not in the front yard!!!

Enjoyed her article, thanks!

Quote from the article: “We Greeks don’t do Easter until after Passover, because how can you have Easter BEFORE Passover.”

Simple, stop being Jewish.

I wonder how influenced Wilson is by her Muslim father?

We Greeks don’t do Easter until after Passover, because how can you have Easter BEFORE Passover.

I've heard this explanation many times, but it seems many times western Easter Sunday falls after the first day of Passover, yet the Orthodox still celebrate Easter a month later. I suspect the explanation is much more complicated.
