A large bonfire burning at the water's edge, reflecting in the waves.
Yesterday I saw the (Greek) Easter bonfire, burning Judas Iscariot at midnight on the shore.
It could have been a magical, spiritual experience but it was also time to discover that Greek attitudes to firework safety are slightly more lax than in the UK. #Crete #Easter #GreekOrthodox #Bonfire
Happy orthodox easter everyone.

Happy Easter to my Greek family! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
When you are part of a Greek and American family, there are perks. One of those is that you get to have two Easter Sundays, well, most years .—From the book, "Never Break the Chain," by me. #greekeaster #mybook #greekorthodox

An awning with the Greek text "ΑΓΙΟΣ ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣ" (Saint Gerasimos) and a cross, located above a door. The building features decorative stonework and is next to a colorful restaurant sign.

To us Greeks, today we celebrate Palm Sunday, while you celebrate Easter Sunday. "Pascha" for us, is next week. The date of Pascha is calculated using the Julian calendar, which is why it often falls on a different date. I spent my whole life trying explaining this.

I chose love over exclusion, union over distance, on Holy Mount Athos. Community prayer became a living bridge.

I don't do this often but for those who celebrate, especially my fellow Greek Orthodox Christians,
Have a Happy Lent.
Though I am a little sad its early this year. We just finished Christmas Fasting and now we're heading to Lent.
Where is joy when prayer feels heavy with sin and distance? Holy Mount Athos asked hard questions.

Through iron doors and cloistered silence on Holy Mount Athos, I hoped my heart would finally open to God.

Union demands surrender—even of the God I invented. On Holy Mount Athos that truth felt dangerous, intoxicating, unbearable.

Today we observe the Saturday of Souls, a day dedicated to honoring and praying for our departed loved ones. With approximately 57 days until Holy Pascha (Easter), we pause in reflection, love, and hope. May their memory be eternal and their souls rest in peace.

No one owns God. The Divine is discovered uniquely within each of us—even on Holy Mount Athos.
