an Easter custom among Orthodox Christians to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!" and the response is Alithos Anesti ("Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! " - "Truly He is Risen!" or "He Has Risen Indeed!")

The phrase "Christo Anesti!" has been ruined for my by the "My big fat Greek wedding" movies. Which I love!

It is a custom among Christians here to intone "Christ is Risen!" with the response "Christ is risen indeed!" (Sometimes "Christ" is replaced by "He", but the intent is the same.) I have been accustomed to this happening for most of my life. It usually only occurs on Easter Sunday, though.

my ex-wife was half Greek, we always had Ham Easter, and Lamb Easter.

sometimes we got really lucky and they fell on the same day.

Christos Anesti to all. We use the Orthodox calender, which usually celebrates His birth a little later. And we also get candy at half off. Wink
