Due to the recent debate of removing Lebanon’s most important religious holidays (yes, more so than Christmas to Christians), Lebanon still has the privilege of blatantly honoring Good Friday as a Lebanese National Holiday.
A very rare commodity for the Middle East, founder of the three main monotheistic religions.
For our Greek Orthodox, Good Friday tends to be usually a few weeks after the Catholic/Maronite Easter, though, I have to admit, its always gloomy on the Orthodoxes Good Friday, as the Bible described that day 2008 year ago in Lebanon.
For those living abroad – A treat to our roots.
