19th of April – Christian Easter

Easter is the most important Orthodox holiday. On this day, the soul seems to be overflowing with radiant joy, nature also contributes to this, which has cast off the shackles of winter sleep and, in harmony with universal joy, meets the risen Christ.

On Easter night you can’t sleep at all, as you can oversleep the main events. In the evening, everyone goes to the church for the all-night service. In the beautiful baskets to the church are a variety of dishes - lard, horseradish, liver, stuffed cabbage, everything that culinary imagination is capable of, except vodka. The solemn procession with the singer and the priest sanctifies and blesses all this good.

Whatever the culinary diversity on the table, you should always start dinner only with Easter cake. Even crumbs of this bread that have fallen to the ground should never be thrown into the trash. A cut-off pink must always be kept, like a talisman that brings happiness.

There is a lot of Easter fun. The best known to us now is the game of cue ball, when children, and not only, choose Easter eggs and knock them on one another. Whose is broken, he lost.

It is believed that on Easter night all the treasures of the earth are revealed that squeamish on the earth with magic lights, however, only the smallest child in the family can see them, and even if his thoughts are clean.
