Easter

A picture of the entire Barbatsuly family, taken at Brookside Farm in Plattekille, NY in the 1930. The family is seated around a fire pit dug into the ground and a lamb on a spit is roasting over the fire.

Ted Kochilas and Lillian Cotsones seated at table. Eating red egg for Easter celebration.

The front has three roses (two pink one a darker red/purple) surrounded by green leaves. In the center is a blue heart with 'Xronia Polla Koslaun' written in the middle. This translates to Happy Easter. On the bottom left corner a small message written in purple ink. The letters have bled so it is a little hard to read. On the back a message is written in Greek in purple ink which has bled a bit as well.

The front depicts a girl in a green dress with a bundle of flowers in her hands. She is standing in front of an egg shaped outline and a rabbit is peaking out from behind it with a decorated egg in its hands. The decoraetd egg is pink with a blue ribbon around it. At the top right corner is written "xristos anesth" translating to "Christos Anesti" meaning christ is risen which is a saying exchanged on Orthodox Easter. On the back is a message written in Greek, most likely wishing the recipient a Happy Easter.

Black and white photograph of the interior of The Annunciation Cathedral.  This photo was taken from the right side and is a close-up view of the altar area.  The background is dark and made up of a large wall of icons, called an iconostas.  A chandelier is seen at the top and to the left. An Epitaphios, a bier topped with a gazebo-like canopy, is featured front and center in stark contrast to the dark background.  It is covered with fresh white flowers and greenery and is topped with a cross.  Several votive risers filled with votive candles are in the very front and bottom of the photo.

A row of pews with several ladies and some children are on each side of the aisle and are visible at the bottom of the photograph.

Outdoor black and white photograph taken at night, which shows a crowd of people in a procession.  The night sky creates a dark backdrop and stark contrast to the Epitaphios, a beautifully carved bier topped with a gazebo-type canopy, which is on a wheeled cart.  It is covered with fresh flowers and greenery and has a large cross, which is also covered with flowers, hanging from its top.  People of all ages, dressed in dress coats and overcoats, are gathered on the right, on the left, and behind the Epitaphios.
