Russian Easter
Easter, also known as Pascal day, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus after his death. There is no fixed date. It is held on the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox every year, usually between April 4 and May 10.
Before the festival, people fasted for 49 days according to the religious tradition. They only ate one full meal a day, and the other two meals were only half full. They did not eat meat and vegetables, and were not allowed to sing and dance during the abstinence period. However, in addition to the elderly and believers, many Russian people in China no longer abide by the precepts. On the festival day, in addition to preparing colorful 'beecheney' (cakes), each family should also prepare cooked colored eggs (Easter colored eggs), which will be painted with red, yellow, blue, coffee, green, purple and other colors. Whenever guests come, the host will share a colored egg to symbolize the prosperity of life. During the festival, people want the above good snacks and biscuits to entertain guests. Relatives and friends come to the door to congratulate each other. Young men and women sing and dance, dance the Russian tap dance with strong rhythm, and play the three stringed piano and accordion to have fun. Every year, 50 days after Easter is the Holy Spirit day, also known as Pentecost. It is a festival for Greek Orthodox Church to commemorate Jesus' disciples receiving the Holy Spirit!
