The passage discusses various Easter traditions, including the tradition of making and eating "magiritsa" on Holy Saturday after the Resurrection. The language used in the text is simple and everyday, with many dialogues that bring liveliness and vividness to the mentioned traditions. In the development of the story, particularly in the second thematic section of the text ("It was a small meadow... to do this."), there are several slowdowns. The main character, Mr. Dionysakis, ultimately decides not to slaughter the lamb because he hears the cries of his youngest child, who does not want the live animal to die, and because when he goes out into the courtyard, he is confronted with the beauty of nature, which softens his soul. Mr. Dionysakis' wife becomes angry and upset with her husband's final decision not to slaughter the lamb.
