Instructions
Step 1
During Holy Week, preceding Easter, consider the menu of the festive table. Include foods that are traditional for the day, as well as the foods you enjoy the most. Try to prepare everything in advance so that you have the opportunity to consecrate some of the Easter treats in the temple.
Step 2
Prepare Easter - the main symbol of the festive table. It is also advisable to make cottage cheese for her on her own, taking baked milk as a basis. Raisins, sour cream or cream will make this dish especially tender and aromatic. Place Easter in the center of the table, placing it on a high slide on a plate. It is this presentation that symbolizes Heavenly Zion.
Step 3
Dedicate one day to painting eggs. This can be done together with the children: this way they will have the brightest memories of the preparation for Christ's Resurrection. For decoration, you can use both traditional methods, for example, onion peels or food colors, or all kinds of ready-made decor kits.
Step 4
Prepare your favorite meals that you have been giving up for 7 weeks. At the same time, refrain from eating too abundant a meal, since the exit from the post should be correct and gradual. Give preference to baked lean meat dishes, steamed fish, light cold snacks. Do not forget about red wine, which, according to tradition, is also blessed in the church in advance.
Step 5
Lay a nice tablecloth. Put festive dishes on the table, lay out napkins. Easter dishes look most harmonious in light porcelain dishes, painted eggs in a basket. Place the candles brought from the temple.
