It's Easter, Greece's biggest celebration of the year and that can only mean one thing - dynamite - and plenty of it. All week explosions have been going off all over the place. The little grenades the kids use aren't so bad but when someone decides to set off a stick of dynamite and the poorly fitted windows out the back start to come in, well, it takes me back to my days in Northern Ireland during the 80s.
It's certainly not good for getting your kids to sleep, but must be great fun for fans of Deicide who can watch Christ get crucified on every channel on the telly several times a night.
I think they're setting off Greece's first nuclear trial over at St Emilianos on Saturday at midnight. Think I'm going to have to strap myself into my seat, get the headphones on and turn up 'Once Upon The Cross' for that one.
BTW: The oil price indicator is on my blog cos I haven't worked out to put it on my desktop yet.
It's the only time I've been warned NOT to leave a church until at least 20 minutes after The Lord has arisen! There's a very old English anthem which begins "Christ has gone up with a merry noise" The author must have been to a Greek Easter!
