Greek Orthodox - The lambada is the traditional Easter candle that everyone in Greece holds on the evening of “Megalo Savvato” (Holy Saturday) These candles are essential to the Greek Orthodox Easter service on Holy Saturday evening, also known as Anastasi. The candle symbolizes the resurrection of Christ and represents the light that dispels the darkness of death. It is believed that the "holy" light arrives from Jerusalem in every church a little before midnight, thus allowing candles to be lit.
