I was really surprised at how quiet my Easter was actually, because Georgians seem to treat it as their most important holiday, which means a lot of church and a lot of supras and food. My family though kept it low key, and I agreed to go to church until I found out it was from 11pm to 6am, and I somehow found myself with no social obligations apart from hanging out with friends.
Georgians also have eggs here which they decorate in a red color to symbolize the blood of Christ. They either smash them against another person's to see whose is the strongest, or they seem to leave them at the gravesites of family members.
My host sister Tiniko after doing an Easter egg hunt that I did using eggs my grandma sent me (thank you!!!) They don't have the candy, peeps, colors, bunnies, egg activities like they do in America, so I thought it would be fun for her to do an egg hunt at least! She enjoyed it but was pretty impatient about finding the eggs. (She was happier than she looks in the picture....Georgians don't smile in photos....)
