It's so interesting to hear your egg cracking game has Greek roots as well! My Polish side of the family would do this at Easter and it was called "picking eggs" and I haven't come across anyone else that does this until now!
I grew up in South America and we wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays during lent, instead we had fish. Good Friday was a big fish meal and Sunday was a big meal/lunch after church that included meat signifying the end of Lent and the end of Holy Week.
I'm from Jamiaca and another popular easter tradition here is eating spiced bun and cheese (the cheese is placed in between two buns slices like a sandwich) as well as eating fish because people usually abstain from eating red meat during the Easter period.
Loved this read and loved sharing what I read with family over the holiday weekend. Side note, I’ve seen pictures of that omelette before but never knew the story behind it!

Another UK tradition is having roast lamb on Easter Sunday, super yummy (and also using the 4 day weekend to go to the pub is a must...)

In Jamaica easter bun with cheese is popular for Easter. It is similar to hot cross buns, because of so many years under British Rule.
My other half which is German also did the egg cracking for Easter!
I loved learning about all the different Easter traditions
Wow thanks claire, so interesting. Tsoureki sounds wild I had no idea you could grind cherry pits. Torrijas all the way for me
