My favorite holiday unquestionably is Easter, or in my church, Pascha. It is the culmination of months of self-disciplining. It is the the "Feast of Feasts," the most joyful of all religious services. And in my family, it is the eagerly anticipated annual gathering of all our friends and family to a lamb roast in our backyard to celebrate.
My dad carves the lamb with his father, who began this tradition when my dad was a boy.
My goddaughter Julia and her twin Elena "Greek dance" in the grass.
Everyone gathers together to give thanks and to sing the Resurrection hymn, "Christos Anesti."
