Devon
Being the second largest county in England and surrounded by countryside and coast it is no wonder Devon is one of the biggest tourist locations in the UK. This leads to a meeting point between man and nature in the most incredible ways. Direct links into the natural world are common through the ease of access into the rural and coastal world and its at these points that true 'moments' are found.
Being such a large county yet still very rural, there are few big cities compared to elsewhere in England. Linking people together is therefore very important and as well as roads and motorways, there are countless lanes, tracks and paths that link the urban to the furthest outreaches of countryside.
Favourite past times and common meet up points among the locals are often the local country pubs and taverns, the fairgrounds and probably most commonly; the beaches.

Thessaloniki
One of the most important traditions in Greece is the night of Holy Saturday during Easter. To Greeks Easter is even more important that Christmas. The tradition starts the week before Holy Saturday, when people should not eat meat for the whole week. On the Thursday women dye eggs in red and godparents buy a candle to the children. On the Friday, in every church they have the tomb of Christ with its icon on it and they use to put hundred flowers on it. On the evening the tomb is taken out and people walk it around neighbourhood’s streets.
During Saturday night everyone goes to a church and watch the ceremony. Some minutes before midnight the priest turns off the lights of the church, this symbolizes the darkness and the silent of the tomb, and at midnight the priest lights a candle from the Eternal Frame, sings “Christos Anesti” (Christ arises) and passes the flame to light a person’s candle close to him. Everyone repeats the same thing, gives the flame one to another. When Church’s bells ring everyone say to the other “Christos Anesti” and the other replies “Alithos Anesti”(indeed he has rise). After that people chink the red eggs saying again “Chistos Anesti”-“Alithos Anesti”.
The links to this tradition are between people. The link exist it some moments in Easter such as on Saturday’s midnight where everyone communicates with the other to receive and pass the flame or when they chink the eggs.
