Greeks celebrated Orthodox Easter on Sunday in a manner
befitting the country’s crisis-hit economy with food and drink cutbacks
and state expenses kept to a minimum.
Stung by higher transport costs and income falls, many opted to stay
at home while a leading trade association said purchases for the
country’s foremost religious festival had been the poorest in a decade.
A tradition for political leaders to visit army barracks on Easter
Sunday was also curtailed, with the exception of the head of state,
Karolos Papoulias, who is lunched with paratroopers in the northern city
of Naousa (Macedonia)[fotos 1,2].
