Vintage Easter 2025 pictures

Konstantin Balmont. Blagovest

I was waiting for him with understandable impatience.,
Keeping the rapture of the saint in his soul,
And through the harmony of prayer singing
He shook me up like a thunderbolt.

Since ancient times, the gospel over the Russian land
The prophet's voice spoke to us about heaven;
Like a ray of sunshine in springtime
He illuminated the path of nature to its heyday.

To you, O God, to Your throne,
Where is the truth, the truth is brighter than our words,
I'm on my way according to Your verb,
What I hear through the ringing of the bells.

"Christ is risen! On this bright and pure holiday, I wish you happiness and grace. May there always be peace in your soul, a peaceful and clear sky above your head, and reliable and loyal friends by your side. May this Easter bring you warmth and joy, and may the Lord grant you his love and strong faith in your soul. Happy Easter!"

Beautiful pictures of the Resurrection of Christ

Alexey Tolstoy. Consolation

The one with eternal love
He repaid evil with good,
Beaten, covered in blood,
Crowned with a crown of thorns,

All brought closer to themselves by suffering
In life, I share the offended,
The oppressed and the humiliated
He made the sign of his cross.

You, whose best aspirations are
They die under the yoke for nothing,
Believe, friends, in deliverance.,
We are coming to God's light.

You who are bent with a twist,
You who are oppressed by chains,
You who are entombed with Christ,
You will be resurrected with Christ.

"Congratulations on the great feast of Easter! I wish you God's help, strength of spirit, warmth of the heart, smiles, health to your loved ones, warmth at home, joy, grace, mercy and spiritual enlightenment. May the Sunday of Christ bring light, happiness, and peace. God bless you! Christ is Risen!"

Happy Easter: original retro gif images

Marina Tsvetaeva. Easter in April

Bells are ringing and eggs are on a platter
They warmed my soul with joy.
Which is more radiant, tell me, people,
Easter in April?

The grass is caressed by the rays, burning down,
There are echoes of phrases from the street...
I wander quietly from the porch to the barn,
I measure the boards.

In the sky, like a glow, the spring dawn,
Waves of Easter bells...
I cried so bitterly at the neighbors'
Gramophone sound,

They echo him endlessly, dejectedly
Squeal the harmonicas from the kitchen...
There was a lot, ah, there was a lot...
The past, collapse!

No, eggs on a platter won't help either!
Late... The rays burned out...
Which is more hopeless, tell me, people,
Easter in April?

"Christ is risen! Congratulations on the great Easter holiday. Good health to you and your loved ones. Let all the bad things be forgotten, and the good things will always remain in your memory. I wish that the whole family was always there, and every day brought only joy. Happy Easter!"
