They all sound fun to me. Of course, my favorite tradition where I’m from is eating Easter chocolate.
Sehr gut Dominick und Frohe Ostern🐰🐰🐰💝💝💝💝💝
Actually they are all interesting. Our favorite was the Easter Egg Roll because we have actually been to it a few times. There are lots of activities on that day so there are many things to do and there is a special souvenir egg each kid gets to take home. It’s fun. Of course all of the traditions are nice.
In Hellas🇬🇷 (yes, that’s our real name) the competition with the red eggs is a famous tradition!
It takes place the Sunday of Pascha not before, because as Orthodox Christians from Clean Monday / or Ash Monday till the Great Saturday we are Fasting.
After those days of fasting the eating is immense and that includes meat, a type of Easter Bread with milk and eggs called tsurèki and a lot of red eggs. Unlike with other European countries as I’ve seen, in Hellas and other orthodox countries we dye our eggs red because after the news of the Resurrection in Jerusalem, Mary Magdalene confronted by a Jewish woman saying that all these was rubbish and Christ was not the God so she didn’t believe a thing. Mary Magdalene was holding a basket with eggs and told her that if those eggs were dyed with the blood of Christ would you believe?
Then the eggs turned red in her basket, she took an egg offered it to the Jewish woman and told her Xristòs Anèsti = Christ is Risen!
That’s why we only dye our eggs reds.
In Hellas we don’t have that much of celebrations for Easter as other Western countries. In Orthodoxy the main point is the ecclesiastical traditions, the Holy Passion and the fact of the Resurrection. Our main task is going to the church, there we have a more meaningful Pascha-Easter than the Latins!
Some of the few traditions outside of the church-life but still religious themed in my region Thrace are:
•The songs at Lazarus’ Saturday
The Saturday of Lazarus as it is known, all across our country young girls wearing our traditional clothes and they go in every house to sing about the Lazarus! They are holding a doll wrapped up in a white cloth representing Lazarus and they are singing traditional songs. The people are giving them money, bread and even eggs for enter the Great Week.
After the whole procession that lasts all day they go to the house of one girl and they are decide who to share the money and the food to the poor families. Tradition like this were kept until the 1940-50.
After the war people stopped doing them but nowadays people are drawn back to our traditions and cultural associations are learning these traditions to the younger generation that never experienced them in their lives. Our grandparents are remembering them as a normal event, a fact in their lives not as “folklore events”.
•Epitàfios
The Great Thursday at night is the Crucifixion of Christ. The people after the evening Liturgy that lasts from the 18:00 until 22:00 are staying all night at the church mourning, chanting incredible Byzantine hymns, boys and girls are found to the houses of the village to collect flowers to decorate the Epitàfios, the tomb of Christ.
The next day founds them in the Church when in Great Friday’s Liturgy the body of Christ is taken down from the Cross and placed inside the Epitàfios. The same night the Epitàfios is carried by for men all around the village/town and returns to the Church.
My comments must be blocked because I put a link but I should try once more.
Here’s a link to get a glimpse of a Hellenic Orthodox Pascha.

My wife really enjoyed the Norway tradition.
I prefer all Germany 🇩🇪.
Interesting comparisons, Dominik, and great choice of egg colors at 1:42!
I love it all♥️♥️♥️
1. I like the idea of painted eggs in a tree.
2. I dont know
3. Eierpecken
4. Easter Bilby
5. Osterbrunnen...honestly that would look so pretty!
In Pennsylvania German families, we still have the egg tree but the tree is now a decorative metal wire “tree” for in the house; the metal ornament “trees” that people use for Christmas. Wild birds and squirrels had a habit of attacking or stealing the ones that were hung on the trees outside. 😂 I like the bunny tradition, and the symbolism behind their reproductive habits and the rebirth cycle of spring. Rabbits used to always be the first indicator that it was officially planting season, but ours don’t hibernate anymore. 😂🤦♀️
German vs. You need a new assistant 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
A new assistent? 😁
How do you say in German??
You say 'gegen'.
In German, the word "versus" can be translated as "gegen" or "versus" (which is also used in a more international context). For example, in the context of a sports match, you can say "Team A gegen Team B" or "Team A versus Team B."
@@GetGermanized danke😃
I would like to correct you in something. The tone in the greek word you said is in the first syllable. Tsoúgkrisma.
Thanks! I'm a total noob when it comes to the Greek language unfortunately 😅
@@GetGermanized Don't worry. You have me as a subscriber.
@@GetGermanized haha in fact the only easy thing in our language is the pronunciation of the words and their stress.
Hellenic is phonetic like Deutsch, we pronounce all the letters of a word and every word has a *’* above it.
This is called tònos> tone and shows what syllable you should stress!
It’s not like English when if you don’t know the word you guess where to stress it😂
Gibt es einen Ostern Tradition wo Menschen zusammen in Hase Kostüme Alkohol trinken bis sie kotzen?😅
Are you german?🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Well im spanish🇪🇸
Es gibt keine spezifische Ostertradition in Deutschland, bei der Menschen in Hasenkostümen zusammenkommen und so viel Alkohol trinken, dass sie erbrechen. Allerdings gibt es während der Osterzeit verschiedene Bräuche und Feiern, bei denen Menschen fröhlich zusammenkommen und feiern. Manche mögen dabei auch Alkohol trinken, aber das Trinken bis zum Erbrechen ist keine allgemeine Tradition. 😆
@@GetGermanized echt? Ich dachte es gibt solche Tradition weil ich beobachte dass die Deutscher immer ihre Feiertage mit viel Alkohol feiern. 😅😂
I don't like any of the traditions. They are all rooted in paganism.
It's important to remember that traditions, including Easter traditions, can vary greatly across different cultures and regions. While some may have roots in paganism, they've often evolved over time and taken on new meanings. People celebrate these traditions for various reasons, such as spending time with family, enjoying seasonal festivities, or expressing their faith. It's perfectly fine to have your preferences, but it's also essential to respect the customs and traditions of others. Try to appreciate the diversity of celebrations around the world and the different ways people come together to mark special occasions. 🌍🐰🥚
