Koulourakia, red eggs and lambathes were the centre of attention on Saturday, April 1 at Victoria’s Pedia Greek School.
The Greek school conducted a hands-on learning lesson about Greek Easter traditions for young kids aged pre-kindy to primary school.
Christos Vatranis, Principal of Pedia Greek School, said teaching the children about Greek Easter is important as it helps them understand and appreciate the cultural and religious traditions of Greece.
“It also provides opportunity to learn about the significance and importance of Easter in the Christian faith, the customs and rituals that are associated with this very important holiday,” Mr Vatranis said.
There was excitement all around from the young kids as they got their hands involved in rolling the koulourakia and dyeing the red eggs.
“By teaching our children about Greek Easter… we can help them understand how Greek Easter traditions have been passed down through generations,” Mr Vatranis concluded.
