I will gather some info about our traditions in here and i will create a whole post about it!!

Sure, there are Russia and Belarus and Ukraine nearby, but I believe these countries have different traditions than Greece... because their traditions are super pagan and root to that festivity I mentioned in my previous comment and I love them :D Greece on the other hand is so far away and you just don't get to know how people living there celebrate their holidays, until you know a Greek person.Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973135277948728309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78725678690026739.post-21635299485294627702013-10-20T03:00:54.066-07:002013-10-20T03:00:54.066-07:00Thank you!

Hallowe'en is less than two weeks away, and I am so utterly delighted~! I live in America, which I am not fond of, but the benefit is that there is indeed much Hallowe'en merchandise. I also celebrate Samhain, though, and unfortunately barely anyone here knows what that is.

XD But I'm quite proud of this, actually. Although we celebrate the Day of the Dead in Christian way, in XIXth century there still was a pagan tradition, somewhat related to Samhain, but not quite - and nowadays modern Polish pagans scorn Halloween and celebrate that old festivity. I myself am fond of it, too :)<br /><br />You could make a post about how the Day of the Dead looks in Greece! I'm very interested what is the Orthodox way of celebrating it, and do you have some still living pagan traditions of your ancestors? That's interesting, because Greek people converted to Christianity very long time ago, and I don't remember reading anything about day of the dead in mythology of the Ancient Greece... Or maybe there are some interesting cemeteries in Greece, or local traditions? Let me know :)Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973135277948728309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78725678690026739.post-25286236708034550512013-10-17T03:55:00.891-07:002013-10-17T03:55:00.891-07:00Oh yes, in Lithuania it is also too damn difficult...Oh yes, in Lithuania it is also too damn difficult to get anything halloween-ish.
