What is the significance of Lambathes? Greek Easter candles, known as Lambathes, have a rich cultural significance in Greece. These candles are essential to the Greek Orthodox Easter service on Holy Saturday evening, also known as Anastasi. The candle symbolises the resurrection of Christ and represents the light that dispels the darkness of death. 

Who buys the lambatha? It is customary for Godparents to gift an Easter lambada to their Godchild. Some families hold this tradition up to teenage years and others right up through adulthood.

Can babies have a lambatha too? Godparents purchase lambathes for the godchildren they've baptised. The baby receives their lambatha during Easter following their baptism.

What is the Mati/Evil Eye? Evil eye is believed to be a curse that is given by a glare that has negative intensions. Any negative emotion can cause the evil eye (mati) curse, such as anger or even jealousy. It is believe that the curse itself causes bad things to happen to the person who has received the curse, such as headaches and even a string of “bad luck”. Wearing a special evil eye charm, also called a mati, is said to help prevent the curse from even happening. Here’s a bit more information about the Greek evil eye (mati) and what to do about it.
