On Holy Saturday, many Eastern Christians watch on TV as a military jet brings the Eternal Flame, which is distributed to priests who carry it to their local churches. Traditional mayiritsa soup is prepared, using the intestines and organs of the lamb that will be roasted on Easter Sunday.
Everyone who is able attends the midnight Service of Resurrection, with each person holding a white candle which is lit during the service by passing the Holy flame to one another. The candles are called labatha and are often given as gifts to children from their parents or Godparents, decorated with storybook characters.
Afterwards friends and relatives gather to break the fast and enjoy the mayiritsa soup, and play a game with the dyed red eggs where they must attempt to crack opponents eggs with their own.
