We won't have time to look around, but the great Easter holiday will begin. But how can you celebrate it without Easter trappings: painted eggs and cakes? It's time to start thinking about when to start preparing for the celebration and table decoration.
The great bright holiday of Easter is celebrated all over the world. As you know, it falls on a different date, since the celebration itself must always be a Sunday afternoon. This is why the dates are different every year. So, in 2019, Easter will be celebrated on April 28, which means that preparations for the holiday will begin in advance.
Easter cakes (or, as they are affectionately called, "pasochki") in shops and bakeries of any city will start selling two weeks before Easter. Many will not wait for the holidays, but will start delighting themselves with fresh pastries right away, but some will wait for the very day when they can eat Easter cakes and colored eggs.
If you decide to prepare all the dishes yourself, then If for some reason you can't do everything on Thursday, then you need to start painting eggs and baking cakes early in the morning on Holy Saturday. Already from 10 in the morning, the prepared dishes can be consecrated in the church. However, it is possible to bake and paint on Saturday later to consecrate food on Easter night during the service.
It is extremely well known that this is the most sorrowful day of Great Lent. Therefore, if you do not have time on Maundy Thursday, then just wait for Saturday.
On the Easter holiday, you must definitely congratulate your family and friends, and it is best to spend this day together. In general, do everything that faith calls us to do.
