The island that prays every day
And not just at Easter. ALIX NORMAN asks if faith still matters to us in this day and age
Cyprus has more public holidays than any other country in Europe. Why?
Well, in large part, you can thank religion: nine of our 15 holidays are related in one way or another to Greek Orthodoxy.
Granted, we share some of those with other countries; Greece in particular. And even European nations who follow a more secular calendar still tend to commemorate Easter, Easter Monday and Christmas.
