I know it is a big celebration and spiritual reflection that occurs over many days, and each day has it's own difference and significance. Can you tell me what happens throughout this religious week? Thanks =)

Are you really interested? Each day of Holy Week there are services at the church. Each service has its own significance and symbolism. It would take too long to explain.....so just read this in your spare time. Seems like you have a lot!! http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/articles/article8432.asp (If you are a church-oriented person, the service of Holy Thursday where they read the 12 Gospels {depicting the passion of Christ} and the service of the Epitaphio on Holy Friday are especially moving.

Everybody sits down on the street and trades socks. It goes back to Thucydides and the Great Socks of Greece.
