Korçë has been filled this weekend with hundreds of tourists and visitors who have chosen the city to celebrate Orthodox Easter as well as to relax and enjoy their time off. Easter is the holiday that symbolizes the resurrection of Christ, and in Korça it is celebrated on a large scale. Local families have preserved and respected their long-standing traditions and customs.
A well-known tradition is the purchase of souvenirs made of ceramics and clay, as well as the preparation of lamb meat, since the lamb is considered a symbol of goodness, purity, and peace.
The Easter lunch represents togetherness, bringing everyone around the same table to be close to their loved ones.
