Easter at the Village

The last week was our "Passion Week" so we went to "Velimahi" (Soula's village).
We left from Athens on "Maundy Thursday" (or Holly Thursday? ... excuse me if I'm wrong, I only check my dictionary) at 6:00 am so, we were at 7:30 am outside of "Vitina" (a big village 45 minutes far away from "Velimahi").

Here is two pictures I took from the morning fog. It was great to see the fog "crawling" between the hills and the mountains.

Right after we arrived at "Velimahi", Vagelis started relations with the lamb of the next picture.

(Do you want me to tell you the destiny of the lamb? ... for those who doesn't know it just keep reading and you'll find out) 

As I told you before, it was "Maundy Thursday" and our religion custom says that this is the day that we paint the eggs red!

So Soula started to put the eggs one by one in the hot water. First the must be boiled then let them cool and then paint them red. Next to he eggs Soula was boiling wild herbs (I don't know how to call them in English, but they are delicious) to eat them at noon. 
But wild herbs weren't enough for all of us so she decided to cook these great "Kalamari".

(I know that in  English you say it like that but I don't know how you spell it).

Katerina was waiting for the food to get ready... but she doesn't like neither of those!!!Okay here are our red eggs. Almost ready. They want to stay in the "red painting" for a while before you take them of.How do hey look?

Red and shiny!!!We made some green ones too. It was our first time painting the eggs with a different color.

(wondering why green? ..... Just because Vaggelis and Katerina wanted them like the color of their team)
