Easter Candles

April 12, 2026. Καλή Σαρακοστή!  Blessed Lent! * The Greek Easter candle, Pascha candle, is a traditional decorated candle held on Holy Saturday (Anastasi) before Orthodox Easter. The candle is lit at midnight symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus bringing Jesus' light to all. It is customary for Godparents to gift an Easter lambada to their Godchild.
