On Easter night, one should not sleep at all, as one might oversleep the main events. In the evening, everyone goes to church for all-night service. In beautiful baskets a variety of dishes are carried to the church - lard, horseradish, liver, cabbage rolls, everything the culinary imagination can do, except for vodka. A solemn procession with a choirboy and a priest consecrates and blesses all this goodness.

When they returned home, they started breaking the fast, but before they sat down to eat, the girls had to wash their faces with water, in which there was a sacred Easter egg, so that it would be as beautiful as it was.
Whatever the culinary variety on the table, one should always start dinner with a loaf of bread. Even crumbs of this bread, which fell on the ground, should never be thrown in the garbage. The cut off crusts should always be kept as a talisman that brings happiness.
There are a large number of Easter fun activities. The best known one we know now is the game of Beatles, where children, and not only children, choose Easter eggs and bang them one against the other. Whichever one breaks is the loser.

If someone dies on Easter, he or she is considered very lucky, since it is on this day that the gates of heaven are open, and the soul gets there without any judgment.
It is believed that on Easter night all the earthly treasures are revealed, which glimmer on the earth with magical lights, nevertheless, only the smallest child in the family can see them, and even then, if his thoughts are pure.

On this day every Orthodox Christian should greet with another with the words "Christ is Risen!" and receive in response the affirmation of those words, "Truly Risen!"

The entire next week after Easter is called Luminous Week and is celebrated as one day.
