Bright Week—the most radiant week of the year in Greek tradition—follows Holy Week and runs from Easter Sunday to Thomas Sunday. Also known as the “New Week,” it marks a time of renewal and joyous celebration.
On this episode of “Historical Walks”, folklorist and ethnologist Miranda Terzopoulou joins Marilena Katsimi and takes us on a journey through Greece to explore the customs, rituals, and local festivities of Bright Week—once celebrated as fervently as Easter itself, with music, dancing, and communal feasts.
