Greek-Orthodox churches in Astoria met pilgrims on the streets of the city at 10:00 yesterday night. Despite the bitter cold, the Greeks of the area followed with patience the Epitaph of the church they belong to.
There are many Orthodox churches in Astoria and each one of them tried to decorate its Epitaph with the most beautiful flowers.
The expatriates who live in New York but not in Astoria, went earlier and waited to worship, to admire and bless each other for Easter.
