Roast lamb - Greece

In Greece, families dedicate Holy Saturday to preparing a roast lamb for lunch the next day. The lamb is seasoned with a mixture of lemon juice, salt, herbs and spices that varies by region.
It is then placed on the spit and slow-cooked as it turns—a shared task that makes up part of the Easter festivities. Of course, not everyone has a spit large enough to roast a whole lamb, so often a more manageable leg of lamb is prepared.
