I Flew To Athens For The Greek Orthodox Easter 🇬🇷 

God has no color, no race. Only love for all of His creations. God bless brother!

Next year go to Chios island, if you are brave enough, to see the "rocket wars".

I just came back from Athens! The plan was to stay there for 4 days but I ended up staying for 14 days! Such a charming city 🇬🇷

I'm a Black British Royal Navy veteran, married to a Greek woman I met when I was based in Cyprus. I visited Athens a few times with her & it was always a great city, although its unfortunate how the Greek economy has made life difficult for young Greeks. Glad you enjoyed the place ❤🇬🇷🇬🇧

Christ Has Risen. Χριστός Ανέστη

You are our favourite tourist!!! And to be honest you are no longer a tourist in Hellas (Greece) but an honorary Hellene (Greek) yourself! Thank you for loving my country bro you are always welcome!!

You are filming in the locale of "Fokionos Negri" mall and "Kipselis Square"😂, you asked Albanians and not local Greeks for directions to the nearest gyros fast food restaurant in Kipseli Square (they are the ones sitting in front of the closed off area where construction of a new station for the undeground railway system is underway), and you did attend the Mass for the Resurrection of Crist at the square in front of the St George church! I grew up in that neighborhood. 🤩 Ask me for directions next time. 🤩

Christ is Risen Brother for all of us on this Earth

Χριστος ανεστη σε ολους τους Ελληνες 🇬🇷☦️

Happy Orthodox Easter to Greece.

Greece and Cyprus are very beautiful countries. You are always welcome in Greece.

Gyros will unite the whole planet !

If you truly want to see Easter check the rocket war of Chios, the explosions of Kalymnos and Corfu as a whole. These are some of the must experiences not only in Ellas bit the entire world

Christos Anesti! Welcome to Athens, enjoy your stay.

Hey dude, Greeks don't eat meat before Easter. So a lot of places will be closed

«Ἀναστήτω ὁ Θεός, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυγέτωσαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτόν» "May God arise, and his enemies were scattered, and those who hated him fled from his face" this happened in this square, brother.

For all who wpuld like to know, the area Emeka visited is Kipseli, down town Athens, the place he went to eat is in Fokionos Negri, a street full of restaurants and cafes and the Church is St. George in St. George's square, one of the most urban places in Athens.

Always welcome🇬🇷

During easter almost everyone in the city goes for vacation in the countryside to spend it with their families, very little amount of people are left and Athens is pretty empty. Anyways glad you enjoyed it🧡 you're always welcome here

Greece has changed much, the attitude of Greek people towards foreigners have also changed since Xrisi Avgi disappeared.Growing up in Greece as a black person around 2000s things started changing, I left there in 2008 and I went back in 2022 and when in Thessaloniki most people welcomed us I have since returned there 3 times from 2022 to now and enjoyed it Kirkira was my best place to visit

I also love Athens, my friend. And I am from an island in Greece. Go figure!

Will you stay till Thursday to watch Olympiakos - Aston Villa second leg for qualifying to the final of Euro Confederation Cup? It will be lit and best atmosphere ever witnessed. Hard to get tickets though

Well done Emeka l am glad you enjoy yourself in Greece

Wait until you go to easter in a village...this is a city where traditions are still kept but they are mellowed down...greek easter in a village is something you will never forget

I'm so glad you experienced this!

Need to find some lamb on a spit. On the next day! Happy, safe travels

Welcome back to the Greece 🇬🇷 bro !! Good bless you !

Christ is Risen ! Next year you have to visit Ethiopian Orthodox celebration in Addis Ababa.

Holy Saturday night/vigil is the most holy nights of the whole year, Emeka. I hope you felt that while you were there among all the people who received the Light (represented in the candle) - Christ's Light. The midnight service is 3 hours long.

Καλώς επέστρεψες και πάντα ευπρόσδεκτος!

Athens loves you Emeka. Greece is a country that will always be like home for you.

I'll be there in September. Christos Anesti ☦️

I think the cups were to place around your candle to stop wax dripping on you. Greetings and Christos Anesti from Sydney Australia

Christ has Risen

If you keep asking for euros they'll send you to the bank

Thanks for an amazing video my dear brother. Lots of Love. Lord Bless.

Look up Kosmikon pastry shop. There’s several around Athens. They got the best galaktobouriko in Greece.

Easter is the best time to visit Greece. I don't understand why most people come in summer. Guys it's really HOT!!! in the summer.

Man youre lucky if you had arived Friday before Easter you would have hard time to find souvkaki,its one of the only days that they dont open cause of the the orthodox fast.

Welcome back dude! Kalo pascha!

Hello, sir! Happy Easter! A note if I may 🙂 The plastic cup wasn't to drink something, but, for the melted candle to not dropped on your clothes 👍

Xristos Anesti❤

Hey friend, judging from your surname you are originally (your parents) from Nigeria, like my husband (he’s from NY but his parents are from Ambia State, Nigeria,actually we were there in February & then we went to Greece). I’m glad you feel this way for my country!!!

Christos Anesti!

Χριστος Ανεστη Emeka!

14:30 Funnily enough the service is just getting started 😂It ends around 2 to 3am because it's a big celebration. Great video! Happy to see you enjoy the trip!

welcome to Greece 😘

I love the way you eat the gyros, you do it in a Greek way, the right way! 🤣🤣 Welcome back brother! Have fun!

after resurection we have family feasts eating a traditional dish that is called "mageiritsa". You should try it its very tasty.

Great Video Brother! Hope you are enjoying your time in Greece again so far! 👍🏻

You are always welcome thank you for the video

Hi, Greeks fast in Holy Week and do not eat Gyro because it contains meat. You can officially eat meat after Saturday midnight resurrection church service. I am surprised you found one on Holy Saturday!! Well done!

Christ is Risen. Stay untill Thursday to wach Olympiacos- Aston Villa. I hope you bring us luck.

Welcome back bro. Happy Easter! I hope you found a place to eat delicious lamb and kokoretsi the next day.

Welcome

Welcome back my friend :)

Do you need a visa as an American coming to Greece? Or is it visa on arrival?

Happy Easter my friend. I will suggest to get a ticket for the Olympiacos vs Aston Villa. It's going to be a blast.

Emeka, which is your favorite Greek team? 😂

In the Greek Orthodox tradition, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central doctrine and a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith. Here are some notes on the significance of Christ's Resurrection in the Greek Orthodox tradition: 1. **The Harbinger of Salvation**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as the harbinger of salvation, demonstrating God's power to overcome death and sin. It is the proof of Christ's divinity and the guarantee of eternal life for those who believe in Him. 2. **The Victory Over Death**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as a victory over death, demonstrating that death has lost its power and that eternal life is available to all who believe in Christ. 3. **The Fulfillment of Prophecy**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as Psalm 16:10, which speaks of the Messiah's resurrection. 4. **The Proof of Christ's Divinity**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as proof of His divinity, demonstrating that He is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. 5. **The Source of Hope**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as a source of hope for all people, offering the promise of eternal life and the forgiveness of sins to all who believe in Him. 6. **The Basis for Christian Living**: The Resurrection of Christ is seen as the basis for Christian living, motivating believers to live a life of obedience to God's will and to share the Good News of salvation with others. 7. **The Celebration of the Resurrection**: The Resurrection of Christ is celebrated annually on Easter Sunday, a day of great joy and celebration in the Greek Orthodox Church. The Resurrection is also commemorated through various liturgical services and hymns throughout the year. In the Greek Orthodox tradition, the Resurrection of Christ is seen as a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, offering hope, salvation, and eternal life to all who believe in Him.

you went to the tap and didn't drink water, enter the church to see the true Light Χριστός Ανέστη

Next year come to Greece but come to the island of Kalymnos! Real Easter is here! 4 days of Easter traditions.. with the peek on Easter Sunday. Just had an amazing night (tonight) with dynamites (tradition) and fireworks! Check it out and think about it for next year..😉😉😉😉

Εγω δεν μπορω να καταλαβω γιατι δεν εχει παρει ακομη ελληνικη υπηκοοτητα ο λεβεντης μας ΣΕ ΓΟΥΣΤΑΡΟΥΜΕ ΡΕ

You came to my neighbour..😁😁😁👍👍👍🔥

lol @ the English transition for Gyros - Euros. lol

"Christos Anesti" = Christ is risen) my friend. ( When they salut you like this, you are to answer " Alithos Anesti"= He has risen indeed). The meaning of Orthodox Easter is understood when you learn why all the fireworks, the lamp and the breaking of the eggs, etc. happen (the customs are so many, all over Greece). Then you will have a different prospective and experience of what and why is happening. Be well!

Wow,Bless You.🎉🎉

Χριστός Ανέστη αδερφέ

Actually when the priest goes inside is when the Divine Liturgy starts and takes 1.30 minutes more. The people today run at their homes to eat lamp immediately after the priest says the "Christos Anesti/ Christ is Risen" and they don't stay for the Divine Liturgy which is the real service this festive day... So sad ...

Wow brother enjoy ❤❤❤

Welcome brother back to our beautiful country!!!Thank you for your videos!

Welcome back!

I am a french orthodoxe who was an atheist ❤

Hi Emeka.. can you please try and come to South Africa, our diverse cuisine will not disappoint... and the landscapes are one for the books...
