ΑΞΙΟΛΟΓΗΣΗ

Easter is the ideal period for someone to see the Byzantine “treasures” of Arta.

Using as reference points the gorgeous Byzantine monuments of the area, the Municipality of Arta, in cooperation with the Metropolises of Arta and Nikopolis & Preveza and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Arta, organize dozens of cultural events consistent with the spirit of these days.

Hymns and psalms performed by chanter choirs, guided tours in the city’s Byzantines churches, video projections about the Byzantine monuments of the area, revival of old customs in the neighborhoods of Arta, decoration of biers of Christ on Good Friday, Saturday of Lazarus carols, and the breaking of jugs and plates, are some of the activities taking place during the Byzantine Week.

During the entire Holy Week, the Philarmonic Orchestra of Arta goes around the main pedestrian areas of the city, thus giving a particular flavour to the celebration of such an important period for the Orthodox Christianity.
