Atlas of Easter Celebrations: How Easter is Celebrated Worldwide — from Greek Midnight to Water-Throwing Easter Monday – This is how it could look

Educational cultural atlas page comparing Easter traditions around the world. Five illustrated panels: 1) Greece — Midnight Easter Saturday: all church lights go out at midnight, single candle lit, flame passed from person to person through a crowd of thousands holding white candles, all shouting 'Christos Anesti!' (Christ is Risen!). Then fireworks and firecrackers everywhere. 2) Poland — Śmigus Dyngus / Wet Monday: Easter Monday tradition where everyone throws water at each other — buckets, water pistols — joyful chaos. 3) Bermuda — Good Friday kite-flying: uniquely on Good Friday, Bermudians fly kites (representing the ascension). 4) Russia / Orthodox Easter: decorated churches, Kulich (tall Easter bread) and paskha, Easter eggs. 5) Ethiopia — Fasika: 55-day fasting period ends with a feast, injera and doro wat, white clothing.
