Easter
On May 1, Sunday, Orthodox Christians shall celebrate Easter, Jesus Christ's Resurrection!
A lot of traditions are connected with this day.
For example, a person says: "Christ resurrected!". Another person replies: "He truly resurrected!". Then traditionally they kiss each other three times on cheeks. Kissing on this day after the phrases is an old-Slavonic tradition, but now this tradition exists only between close people (for example, family, friends).
After that people exchange colored eggs that they dyed on the eve of Easter.
These are old-Slavonic phrases, which you can learn to say for the holiday.
Khristos Voskres! (Christ resurrected!)
Voisteenu Voskres! (He truly resurrected!)
You can give to your lady not only a fruit or chocolate basket on this day - a food basket is appropriate too, as Easter is the end of the most strictest fast, Lent.
Spring flowers and sweets are nice Easter gifts as well.
Kazan: Hotel reservation
Guys, who is planning to come to Kazan this summer?
Yesterday I watched local news: beginning from the middle of July there are no vacant rooms in good hotels of the city. As you know this summer Kazan is celebrating its 1000th anniversary. In connection with this event a great amount of official delegations and just tourists is expected.
Guys, if you are planning a trip to Kazan this summer, think now where to stay. If you wish, we can rent an apartment for you.
