Great Easter is considered one of the most significant and bright holidays among Christians. However, many believers have forgotten about most of the interesting Easter customs and limit themselves to visiting the service. Do not let yourself get bored and have a real celebration.
Instruction manual
1
Boil and color the eggs. You need to not only eat them, but also give them to those who you meet at the greeting. By the way, on this day you need to not just say hello, but say "Christ is risen", you must answer, "Truly risen." You can capture the greeting with a kiss, because such a manifestation of tenderness makes people closer and uplifting. According to ancient custom, spouses should not greet each other in public in such a way - this portends a quick separation.

Go to church for the service and procession. The service lasts all day and not everyone can stand on their feet for so long, especially since not everyone experiences such a desire. In any case, at least go to church and light a candle. According to tradition, the stub should be taken home and hidden, it is believed that this will protect the family from misfortune.

Wash yourself in the morning with water that needs to be stored on Clean Thursday, preferably any silver thing lying in the container.
