The traditional customary gift for Easter is the“Lambada” (Easter candle) which is lit on the midnight service of Easter Saturday. The exquisitely unique Lambada is a gift given by godparents to their godchildren

The Lambada plays a significant role in the Easter festivities. On Holy Saturday as the faithful prepare for the Resurrection people gather at church, with their Lambada candle and listen to the liturgy of the Resurrection.

The Lambada plays a significant role in the Easter festivities. On Holy Saturday as the faithful prepare for the Resurrection people gather at church, with their Lambada candle and listen to the liturgy of the Resurrection. At midnight, the church’s lights are turned off, symbolising the passing of Christ into Hades. As the priest chants the hymn “Come Receive the Light”, the crowd lights their Lambada with the Holy Light. Everyone passes the flame one to another. When the priest chants “Christos Anesth” (Christ is risen), the believers say it to one another and receive in reply “Alithos Anesth” (indeed, He has risen) while exchanging wishes and kisses. It is truly beautiful spectacle and the pinnacle of the celebrations.
