Easter

Easter is the main Christian holiday which always comes in spring. . It celebrates resurrection of Jesus Christ. For 40 days before Easter my family don`t eat some meat and milk dishes. We get ready for the holiday by painting eggs, baking Easter cakes and cleaning the house. On Saturday before the holiday my Mom makes an Easter basket. She puts into it ham, sausage, cheese. painted eggs and of course Easter cake. We take it to church and the priest blesses the holiday food. Easter Mass begins on Sunday early in the morning. After it we have a holiday breakfast and eat the food from the Easter basket. My grandparents usually come to celebrate with us or we go to visit them.

Easter is my family's favorite holiday. The whole family prepares for it in advance. On this day I paint the eggs.  Mum prepares tasty dishes and makes a holiday basket. My mum and dad go to church to bless Easter eggs and other dishes.

     At Easter, we gather at the festive table with our whole family. On this day Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Everyone is greeted in a special way: "Christ is Risen", "Truly Risen". It is a tradition of my family to visit relatives. There is joyful celebration and hope for the best around us.

     This holiday unites and brings people closer.

This year Ukrainian people will celebrate Easter on April 19th. On Easter day, people prepare traditional delights for the family. Easter isn’t Easter without traditional Easter dishes - paska and Easter eggs - pysanka and krashenka. My mother always bakes a paska by herself.

On this holiday my family and I usually go to the church. Also we like to gather together with our relatives and have our Easter lunch. The table is always full of fish, meat and dairy dishes in particular.

As for our family traditions on Easter day, despite all the culinary treats on the table, the meal should start with Easter cake. Adults chat together, while kids play different games like bytky or ‘egg tapping’. The object of the game is to be the last one standing with an unbroken egg.

This year we celebrate Easter on April 19th.

Usually we celebrate Easter in our grandmother's village.

The day before, my grandmother and I paint colorful eggs. Grandma prepares many delicious dishes. On Saturday we consecrate Easter baskets.

On Easter morning, we go to church. After worship, our family tastes hallowed eggs and sausage. Near the church, the children play Easter games.

On this day everyone is greeted: Christ is risen! Truly Risen!
