The history of Easter: traditions, the meaning of the holiday and how to celebrate the Bright Resurrection of Christ

Easter is the oldest Christian holiday established in honor of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The event underlying it is described in the Gospel and is considered central to the Christian faith. The name of the holiday comes from the Hebrew "Passover", which means "passing by" and is associated with the exodus of Jews from Egypt.

Easter is preceded by Great Lent, a period of spiritual purification and abstinence that lasts seven weeks. It ends with Holy Week, dedicated to the memories of the last days of Christ's earthly life.

Easter night is considered to be special: solemn divine services are held in all Orthodox churches, the main element of which is the procession. After midnight, a joyful greeting sounds.: "Christ is Risen!" — "Truly Risen!", which marks the accomplishment of the greatest miracle.

The main symbols of the holiday are colored eggs, Easter cakes and cottage cheese. The egg symbolizes a new life, the Easter cake — spiritual rebirth, and the cottage cheese Easter — joy and abundance. It is customary to consecrate festive dishes in the temple, and then share them with family and friends.

Congratulations occupy a separate place. In the modern world, postcards, electronic images and animated gifs have been added to traditional oral wishes, which help to convey attention and warmth even from a distance.
