Greeks Down Under celebrated Easter last night with more excitement than other years. Following last year’s limited or non-existent celebrations due to Covid-19 restrictions keeping the faithful away from churches, this year’s Anastasi will be one to remember.
Australia’s biggest cities saw hundreds of Greek Australians light up the streets carrying the Holy Light back home after the Easter liturgy.
The night of the Resurrection is a night the entire community comes together, garnering Greeks that do not normally attend Church. Even the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, joined attended the celebrations and the Holy Liturgy performed by Archbishop Makarios alongside his wife Jenny, Minister of Multicultural Affairs Geoff Lee and hundreds of faithful in Kogarah, Sydney.
