Easter- warm wishes for good health and happiness
Easter is the oldest and central feast in the Christian liturgical year, commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a movable feast, and may fall the earliest on 22 March, but no later than April 25. Week preceding Easter is called Holy Week and is a time of remembrance the most important for the Christian occurrences. The last three days of Holy Week (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday) are the Easter Triduum.
Easter is a time to participate in many church devotions and meetings in the family circle. Families gather together at the lavishly laid tables to eat Easter breakfast. The dominant and most popular dishes are the one prepared with eggs, as well as eggs themselves, which is somewhat equivalent to the wafer which families share during the Christmas season. Other traditional dishes consumed during Easter are meat, ham, a traditional easter soup, fish and all kinds of cakes.
Although if we don’t have the opportunity to visit the closest ones during Easter, traditionally, family and friends send each other Easter cards. Depending on preferences, they may be classics with religious themes, or present images of chickens, eggs and lambs in the company of other Easter symbols. Easter cards are affectionate gesture, carrying warm wishes for good health and happiness.
