This Greek Easter my family will be celebrating not just one person who rose from the dead after the third day, but also my father-in-law who almost died in a barbecue accident.
Last year, when COVID-19 shut down Greek Easter, my father in-law Alex was determined to keep doing the thing he loved the most - getting on the charcoals and preparing his famous souvlaki.
While he prepared the barbecue, he did something that many Greek men do - throwing petrol on hot charcoals to quicken the lighting process. His impatience meant he inadvertently created a mini fire ball that blew back on him and caused a quickly moving flame that begun to spread all over his upper body.
