Πάσχα Μ. Σάββατο στην Κέρκυρα 2022.
Πρώτη Ανάσταση, Επιτάφιος, φιλαρμονικές και μπότηδες.
Easter Saturday on Corfu 2022.
First Resurrection, Epitaph, Philharmonic Bands and Pot Throwing Event.
The events and customs of Easter Saturday are perhaps the main reason that make Easter in Corfu so special! At 6 o’ clock in the morning, locals head to the church of “Virgin Mary of foreigners” where an ''artificial earthquake'' is created to represent the earthquake that took place during the resurrection, according to the Holy Bible. At 09.00 am the litany of the relics of St. Spyridon takes place in commemoration of Saint Spyridon, who saved the island from famine in 1550.
Later in the morning at 11.00 am, the ''First Resurrection'’ takes place inside the churches of Corfu and celebrated with the famous Corfu Pot Throwing event- perhaps the most spectacular Easter event in Corfu! takes place! Thousands of locals and visitors flood Corfu Town who wish to experience this unique event that takes place only in Corfu. Tradition takes that locals throw ''Botides'' , the distinctive red clay pots filled with water, from their windows in an effort to get rid of the evil spirits.
The official Resurrection takes place at the midnight of Good Saturday in Spianada Square and celebrated with exciting fireworks! The priest passes the Holy Flame throughout the congregation and everyone sings together “Christos Anesti'' (“Christ is Risen”).

Unfortunately the camera is in front of where I was

[@PhilippDoukakis]

Probably, because my focus was mainly on the parade instead of the viewers around it 😄
