Paphos Easter 2023

Published 12th of April, 2023

Cyprus is a Greek Orthodox Country and considers Easter to be the most important date in the year. Not only that, but the Greek Orthodox calendar is slightly different to the Anglican one, so Easter is celebrated a week later this year. And celebrate it they do, complete with Easter Decorations similar to what you are used to at Christmas. Here is a selection of what you can currently see.

Stadium Roundabout

We shall begin our adventure at the roundabout near the Stadium and the old Super Home location. You can see a chicken and egg in the foreground, and a couple of bunnies in the distance.

The Town Hall

There are some more eggs by the Town Hall along with a baby chick in a nest.

Turned Out Nice

While I was wandering through the Square I couldn't help but admire how nice it was looking in the Spring sunshine.

I Want To Break Free

There are a variety of themes used in the roadside displays. Most of them centre on chicks and eggs, though you will see the occasional bunny. There is also a bizarre one which looks like a folded breast of chicken. I've never been able to work that out.

Kennedy Square

The basket of eggs in Kennedy Square looked particularly spiffing. The best decorations were however, waiting for us in a covered environment.

Happy Easter

We were out doing our Annual Easter Egg Hunt this morning. It took us down through the Esouza Valley, and finally to the sea. I won't be doing a blog article on the final part of this journey, as it isn't in the same league as the two sections I have previously blogged about. However, we did stumble across this shrine. At first glance, I took it as a typical shrine you see fairly frequently in Cyprus. However, a second glance revealed it to be rather unusual.

Happy Easter!
