STHow Russians Celebrate Easter
In Russia, Easter is one of the most important religious holidays, filled with deep traditions and joy. It begins with a midnight church service on Saturday night, where people greet each other with “Christ is Risen!” – “Христос Воскрес!” and respond “Воистину Воскрес!” (Indeed He is Risen!).
Families prepare by baking kulich (a tall sweet bread) and making paskha (a creamy dessert made from cottage cheese). Eggs are dyed red, symbolizing the blood of Christ, and exchanged as blessings.
On Easter Sunday, a big feast follows the strict Lent fast — it’s a time for family, warmth, and celebration.
