(слайды презентации)

The Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday in England and Willow (Verbnoye) Sunday in Russia.

On this day pussy-willow branches are blessed in the church.

On Easter Sunday millions of people joyously observe Christ's resurrection. Many families go to church.

Many families also get together for a large meal.

  • English people traditionally eat hot cross buns.
  • People believe they have magical healing powers.
  • For Easter dinners Englishmen eat baked ham or chicken with famous English apple-pie to follow.

Hot cross buns!

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One-a- penny,
Two-a-penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons,
One-a- penny,
Two-a-penny,
Hot cross buns!

  • Hot cross buns are baked only on Good Friday.
  • When needed, the buns can be powdered, mixed with milk or water and given as a medicine.

In Russia the week before Easter is called Strasnaya Week ("Passion" Week).

  • In churches the passion service is performed, after which the people return home with lighted candles.
  • On Thursday people colour eggs and bake special Easter cakes.

Easter in Russia begins with the Easter high mass during which Easter food is blessed:

  • The pysanky and krashanky (decorated or coloured Easter eggs) are an old pre-Christian element and have an important role in the Easter rites. They are given as gifts or exchanged as a sign of affection.

After the mass all the people exchange Easter greetings and then hurry home with their baskets of blessed food.

  • In Russia at family reunions people traditionally eat the pasky and kulichy (special Easter breads).
  • During the Easter season in Russia the cult of the dead is observed. The dead are remembered during the whole week after Easter, especially on Tuesday (Roditelsky Day).

Emblems of Easter in England:

  • The most popular emblem of Easter is the Easter egg.
  • A very well-known symbol of Easter is the Easter Bunny or Easter Rabbit.
  • Other symbols are hens and chickens.

Easter eggs:

  • Egg is a sign of hope, life.
  • True Easter eggs are hard-boiled, dyed in bright colours, and sometimes well decorated.
  • Nowdays Easter eggs are usually made of chocolate or marzipan or sugar.

Easter Rabbits:

Children in England believe the Easter hair brings the Easter eggs.

On the morning of Easter Sunday children wake up and find that the Easter Bunny has left baskets of candies and hidden coloured and decorated eggs for them.

The children hunt for the eggs, which have usually been hidden outside near their home.

Religious symbols for Easter also include a cross and sunrise. Other symbols are flowers, especially the Easter lily, baskets, chicks.

Games for children in England:

  • Children roll eggs down hills on Easter morning.
  • This game has been connected with the rolling away of the stone from Christ's tomb when he was resurrected.
