Did you know...Holy Saturday is the only Saturday for the Greeks when the consumption of olive oil is not allowed?
It is a day of strict fasting, during which the faithful abstain from olive oil and wine. It is the Orthodox Tradition to fast from food products that contain blood. So, Greeks fast from meat, fish, dairy products, oil, and wine. (Oil and wine, up until the last couple of centuries, were stored in skins of animals. This is why they can eat grapes and olives, but they cannot have wine or olive oil).
In the ancient world, virgin olive oil was called “liquid gold” by Homer and “the great healer” by Hippocrates. Olive oil is part of the fabric of Greek culture...and today Orthodox Christians are called to fast.

It's Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday🌿
The date of Greek Orthodox Easter is determined using the Julian calendar (rather than the Gregorian calendar used in the West). Greek Orthodox Easter services often include elaborate processions, symbolic rituals, and the chanting of hymns in Greek. The midnight service, known as the Resurrection Service, is a highlight of Greek Orthodox Easter, featuring the lighting of candles, the proclamation of Christ's resurrection, and joyous celebrations!
