The Bright Christ of the Resurrection is one of the main and ancient holidays of Christians. The Orthodox have many customs associated with the so-called Great Week. For example, on Clean Thursday, the day when it is customary to clean the apartment and cleanse spiritually, they begin to prepare for the festive table. Traditionally, from this day they paint and paint the main symbol of Easter - eggs. In antiquity, it was customary to lay colored eggs on fresh greens of oats or wheat. From Thursday we prepared curd Easter, Easter cakes and Easter cakes, which were baked from the best flour and differed from the usual ones in the form of eggs, doves, cockerels and bunnies.
For several decades, only a few of all customs were observed in Russia, namely the tradition of painting eggs and making Easter cakes. However, lately more and more often at the festive tables of Russians there are curd Easter, gingerbread cookies and other Easter decorations.
