There are a lot of national holidays in Russia. I would like to tell you about Easter. Nowadays Easter is thought to be a traditional rather than a religious fest. So what are the symbols of this holiday? Firstly there are traditional dishes such as panted eggs, Easter cakes and paskha.Speaking about specific Russian traditions there must be mentioned that people congratulate each other on the fest saying: “Christos Voskrese”, there is no such a tradition in English- or French-speaking countries.
