Greek Orthodox Community of NSW students get creative with Easter lambathes and koulourakia

·

The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW (GOCNSW) Easter school holiday program was a huge hit with students last week.

During the program, the students had a chance to show their creative flare by decorating their own ‘Lambada’ (candle) for midnight mass on Holy Saturday using various ribbons, strings and other accessories.

Students then got a chance to make their own koulourakia. They were shown a few creations and got very creative, making different designs.

Finally, students made some Easter art and craft work and learnt the significance of Holy Week and the different Greek Orthodox Easter traditions.
