28th of April – Orthodox Easter

Easter is a special holiday, calculated for each year. The whole week preceding this day is called Great, or Holy Week. Earlier, long before the birth of Christ, in the worldview of the ancient peoples, the egg symbolized the universe. Plutarch exalted the egg, considering it the creator of all nature. However, in Christianity, the egg acquired a new meaning: as a new life arises from an egg, so the world was born again through the Resurrection of Christ.

Since ancient times, all the people solemnly prepared for the Holy Day. It was believed that good deeds committed in favor of others, especially those deprived of their fate, help to remove sin from the soul. When it comes to Easter symbolism, Easter cakes, Easter eggs, painted eggs, Easter bunnies come to head ... But this is not all.

For example, the Holy Fire from Jerusalem. The priests solemnly spread it to the temples of the city and light candles and lampads from it. Fire symbolizes the Light of God, enlightening all nations after the Resurrection of Christ. On Easter Day, believers greet each other with the words: “Christ is Risen!” - “Truly Risen!”, and kiss three times.

The celebration after the service continues at the festive meal. In the church tradition, the rich Easter table is a symbol of joy. According to the traditions, a snow-white tablecloth should be spread on the holiday table, beautiful tableware should be placed. As an ornament, fresh flowers, lighted candles, and Easter compositions are used. Each hostess seeks to make your table unique. Of course, let's not forget about painted eggs - this is one of the main symbols of Easter, and we have already spoken about them above. All these edible symbols are placed at the head of the Easter table. Eggs are placed on beautiful stands, or they make whole compositions together with Easter cakes.
