Before and after the Resurrection, learn how to share Easter greetings in Greek!
When in Greece, do not miss your chance to exchange Easter greetings with the locals! Easter greetings are a little more complicated, as they are dependent on whether they are sent before or after Jesus' Resurrection.
The majority of Greeks aspire to ???? ?????! Kalo Pascha! Happy Easter! Good Wednesday or Good Thursday, from Palm Sunday through Good Wednesday or Good Thursday.
You will hear from noon on Good Thursday through midnight on Good Saturday, just before Jesus' Resurrection, ???? ????????! Kali Anastasi! Happy Resurrection!
At midnight on Resurrection Saturday, when the priests bring the Holy Fire out of the church and everyone has lit their own white candle, priests and faithful chant in unison, “??????? ?????? ?? ??????! Christos ?nesti ek nekron! Christ is Risen from the dead!”
Families, relatives, and friends exchange kisses with the greeting: ??????? ??????! Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen!
One can respond with either ??????? ??????! or A????? A?????! Alithos Anesti! Truly He is Risen!
If all of these wishes are too difficult to remember or express, stick with the classic Greek desire for all occasions:
?????? ?????! Chronia Polla! Many Happy Returns! – but only after, not before, the Resurrection!
Even if you're a foreigner, Greeks will appreciate your efforts.
