I survived my first Orthodox Easter. I have mentioned before that Michael is Russian Orthodox. We belong to a Greek Orthodox church here in the Atlanta area. Services are a mix of English and Greek so they can be hard to follow. The Goof Friday service was about 4 hours, but beautiful. We did not make it to the Easter service and I am still kicking myself. The service started at midnight and since Michael had to be at work by 6 am and I did not want to be out till about 4 or 5 am by myself.
They had photographers take some photos from Good Friday and the Easter services. For your viewing pleasure:
