Greek traditions include: 1) Carnival is celebrated for two weeks before Lent with costumed parades and parties in the streets, throwing colored confetti. 2) Clean Monday marks the start of spring picnics and kite flying. 3) Easter is the most important celebration, with dyed eggs, new clothes for children, and whitewashed houses. Candlelight processions are held on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, lighting individual candles from the flame of resurrection before fireworks.
