In Greece, the roasting of the Paschal lamb is a tradition that is carried out with great joy and celebration.

After seven long weeks of fasting and dietary restrictions, families and friends gather together for a great feast - the highlight of which is this traditional centerpiece.

Roasting the lamb is a task that is usually carried out by the men of the family who happily tend to the spit or souvla while sipping ouzo and enjoying mezethes or appetizers.
