Easter Pascha - a Greek Tradition image

At our Russian Orthodox church in Boston many Greek's came to celebrate as they did not have a Greek church in the small town we lived in. They preferred this versian of Pascha to the traditional Russian style (it IS absolutely wonderful with the sweet Polish bread!)
