Easter wishes

[Easter wishes 2025]

 

 The text on this Easter card may be “all Greek”

to my non-Greek speaking friends,

so here is an explanatory note to them:

 

“Χριστός Ανέστη” means “Christ has Risen.”

It is the wish-phrase the Greeks wish each other for 40 days

beginning from the moment Jesus’ resurrection is declared by the priest

and joyfully chanted in church at midnight of Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday.

 

“Χρόνια Πολλά” means “May you live for many years”.

It is a wish-phrase we express immediately after “Χριστός Ανέστη”. 

 

So,

Χριστός Ανέστη! Χρόνια Πολλά to you all!
