Russian Easter
Saturday
Speaking of religious holidays, Russian Orthodox Paskha ( Easter) doesn’t coincide with Western Easter, either.
Paskha is not only the name of the holiday, but also a special cake that Russians bake (or, more realistically, buy) for Easter.
They also paint boiled yajtsa ( eggs) into cheerful colors and exchange them.
On the day of Easter, instead of “Hello,” Russians say to each other Khristos voskryes! (Christ has arisen!) The appropriate response is Voistinu voskryes! ( He truly has!)
On Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning people put an easter cakes, painted eggs, butter, fruits into a basket and go to church to holy food.
