Orthodox and Catholics are enjoying the celebrations to spend time with their families and share excellent meals!<\/p>\n<p>As in most Eastern countries, the main Easter tradition is to paint eggs using different colours and traditional folk motifs such as ears, suns, leaves or crosses. What colour should you use first? Red! That is because it symbolizes the blood of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Easter customs are fully respected to the last detail in Romania. Before going to church, the ritual is to wash yourself by putting a red egg and a silver coin in the water, the egg representing health and the silver coin purity. Then, during the mass, it is customary to walk three times around the church holding a lighted candle and singing religious songs before going back home. The Orthodox Easter tradition is to greet each person on Easter Day by repeating the sentences \u201cChrist is risen\u201d and \u201cHe is risen indeed\u201d. In Romanian, this would be &#8220;Hristos Vozkress\u00e9&#8221;, &#8220;Vo istina vozkress\u00e9&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, spending Easter in Romania also means tasting the culinary delights prepared specially for the occasion such as the Cozonac brioche.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-104711 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneytrans.eu\/moneytransblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/04\/art-basket-beautiful-1040161-scaled-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"moneytrans-blog-easter-romania\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1195ff;\">Easter in Bulgaria<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>V\u00e9likden is the word used to name Easter in Bulgaria and it literally means \u201cthe Great Day\u201d. Painting the first egg in red is a key Easter art in Bulgaria. Furthermore, according to the Bulgarian tradition, the oldest woman of the family must make the sign of cross with the red egg on the children\u2019s foreheads to bring them good health. The very first red egg is usually kept by until next Easter. In some parts of the country, the egg can be buried in a field to protect crops from bad weather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1195ff;\">Easter in Russia <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you spend Easter in Russia, you will also be able to admire incredible coloured eggs, greet each person by repeating \u201cKhristos voskrese\u201d (\u201cChrist is risen\u201d) and \u201cVo\u00efstinou voskrese&#8221; (\u201cHe is risen indeed\u201d), and of course taste Pashka, a cream cheese dessert but also a Russian specialty, the Koulitch, a brioche with candied fruit and raisins.<\/p>\n<p>The Easter Mass is the most important mass of the year for Russian orthodox people. The bigger mass is held at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow and even the Russian President attends it! You will also be able to see the best representatives of Russian orchestras choirs and bell ringers playing at the famous Moscow Easter Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Easter is a joyful celebration and one of the traditions is an egg battle. What is the goal? Banging your egg against someone else\u2019s without breaking your own and trying to break the other person\u2019s egg. The one who ends up with his broken egg must give it to the one who beat him. A tradition shared in most Eastern European countries that has become a real competition over the years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1195ff;\">Easter in Poland <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe Great Night\u201d is waiting for you in Poland! And yes, Easter in Poland is Wielkanoc which means \u201cthe great night\u201d. This festival is celebrated according to the Catholic tradition with some pagan influences.<\/p>\n<p>In Poland, there are two types of eggs, the \u201ckraszanki\u201d which are only painted or dyed eggs and the \u201cpisanki\u201d which are decorated with wax and which require a maximum degree of precision. The decoration of \u201cpisanki\u201d is a real artistic discipline that gives rise to the creation of masterpieces every year. You will surely be amazed!<\/p>\n<p>One of the most original Easter traditions in Poland is the \u201c\u015amigus dyngus\u201d or &#8220;Wet Monday&#8221;. A tradition that has its origins in pagan religions where water was considered to have virtues to cure diseases and promote fertility. In Poland, on Easter Monday, passers-by are sprayed with water or perfume nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you celebrate Easter in Poland, you can\u2019t miss the famous polish Easter baba, a brioche with lemon zest and raisins or even the \u201cmazurek\u201d, a pie filled with chocolate and dried fruits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-104717 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneytrans.eu\/moneytransblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/04\/23-1024x683.png\" alt=\"moneytrans-blog-easter-poland\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1195ff;\">Easter in Ukraine <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This tradition in Ukraine is known under the name of Pyssanka. The eggs or \u201cpyssankys\u201d are painted with a small funnel fixed to a stick called a \u201ckistka\u201d that is used to put the melted wax on the egg and create shapes. Pyssankys are considered by Ukrainians as talismans or lucky charms.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition is to bring in a basket covered with an embroidered white bow the Paska, a traditional brioche made with fresh cheese, cream, egg yolks, raisins and sugar as well as a small portion of dishes that will be served with the meal. Once the basket is full, don\u2019t forget to add a candle that will remain lighted throughout the mass. The priest then blesses the basket, and everyone can go back home and share the meal with their families in a joyful and cheerful atmosphere!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-104714 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneytrans.eu\/moneytransblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/04\/22-1024x683.png\" alt=\"moneytrans-blog-easter-ukraine\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1195ff;\">Easter in Georgia <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Georgians decorate their paschal table with red dyed eggs but also fresh grass as a symbol of renewal, resurrection and eternity.
