Easter-the Holy Spring Holiday

Red eggs, lamb, a special bread, bunnies, wine, spring flowers- all these remind us about a holy holiday named Easter.

As we know Easter, which celebrates the Jesus Christ's resurrection from dead, is one of the most important religious holiday of the year. It is a movable feast, because the date of celebration depends on the vernal equinox and the first full moon. Easter as usual occurs on the 22th of March and 25 of April or even at the beginning of May.

This year all the world celebrates Easter on 4 of April. In Moldova this holiday has specific features and importance than in other cultures. The preparation for Easter begun with lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter Sunday, is a time of reflection and penance and represents the 40 days that Jesus spent alone in the wilderness before starting his ministry, a time in which Christians believe he survived various temptations by the devil. The lent is lasting on the Maundy Thursday. The next day- the Good Friday is considered the day of his crucifixion. On this day people must not work in the field, because it is considered a day without luck and also they must eat nothing . Then follows the Holy Saturday, on this day Moldavians prepare a large variety of meals for the day of Easter: Easter cakes ,the meat of lamb, red eggs these being the most important meals and also various salads, the meat of rabbit etc. All the foods mentioned above are sprinkled with holy water at the church on Easter's eve, because on the Easter in the morning each person have to eat some meal that was blessed at church and while striking against red eggs to say ,,Hristos a inviat" and to answer ,,Adevarat a inviat".
