Yannis' mom cuts up the organ meat for the mageritsa, the soup that many people will eat to break their fast. Keep in mind that many Greeks have not eaten any meat for 40 days. Tonight they will start with the mageritsa and then move on to the kokoretsi and the roast lamb, wine, and other food, before going to sleep and waking up to prepare for an Easter feast of more lamb and kokoretsi. And people ask me why if I am not religious I love easter so much.
