Easter is far and away the most important religious festival here, much bigger than Christmas.

I’ve always thought that it would be a very bad idea to be re-incarnated as a pig in Germany as your chances of making it past breakfast, let alone lunch and dinner are minimal, but being a lamb or goat in Greece at Πάσχα is equally dangerous ;-)
