Easter is a special holiday for believers. Many people prepare in advance for this bright day, try to decorate their home and prepare special treats. Themed accessories and special table setting are best for decoration.
We clean the house
The most important home decoration is cleanliness and order. Usually they start preparing for Easter in advance. On Holy Week, a special day is allocated to put your home in order - "Maundy Thursday".
Believing Christians carry out a general cleaning: throw away the accumulated unnecessary trash, wash windows, wash, bring comfort and order. In private homes, garbage is also removed from the yard and garden.
Much attention is paid to the cleanliness of icons and icon lamps. The need for a large cleaning is explained by the fact that not only people and nature, but also every thing in the house, rejoice in the holiday of the Resurrection of Christ.
And only after putting things in order, believers begin to cook Easter, bake cakes and paint eggs.
Festive table
The main dishes of the festive Easter table are Easter cakes, Easter cottage cheese with dried fruits and colored eggs. Also, the hostesses prepare various treats at their discretion. Be sure to cook meat dishes, because the holiday was preceded by Great Lent and it is on Bright Resurrection that believers can break their fast and taste their favorite delicacies.
If Easter cakes and Easter are often bought ready-made, then they paint the eggs themselves. Here you can show your imagination and make eggs the main decoration of the table. For coloring, you can use onion peels, special stickers, dyes or food foil.
A great option is decoupage of eggs. You can also decorate the eggs with beads or lace.
Be sure to think over the table setting. A beautiful themed tablecloth, festive tableware and small decorative items will help you create a special atmosphere for the evening. Place figurines of angels, chickens with chickens or bunnies on the table. Do not forget about the bouquet of the first spring flowers, it will add mood and emphasize the holiday atmosphere.
Be sure to put candles on the table, because the Easter fire is a symbol of the Light of God that came down after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Easter decor
The best Easter decor is the use of symbols of celebration in home decoration. Make some do-it-yourself decorative compositions.
The nest with Easter eggs inside looks very interesting. It can be made from thin twigs or straw, decorated with ribbons and artificial feathers.
A simpler option is to buy a small wicker basket, decorate it with ready-made decorative elements (ribbons, birds, chickens), and put colored eggs inside.
Bouquets of blossoming willow twigs are well suited as an Easter decoration.
Easter trees look very original. They are usually made from willow twigs or fruit trees, to which beautiful Easter eggs are tied to ribbons. For convenience and ease of construction, you must carefully remove the contents from the shell through the puncture in advance, and then paint the shell and hang it on the branches of a tree.
A great option is compositions of flowers, thematic figures, eggs and Easter cakes. They can be placed in the center of a table or in a prominent place in the house.
