49.99 €
This holiday comes to the home with rays of sunshine, especially bright and golden—it's not for nothing that they say the sun plays at Easter. With the aroma of Easter cakes and the honeyed scent of candle wax. With the ringing of bells and the voices of children already playing in the yard. With favorite lines that naturally emerge in the memory.
Easter in Russia is a whole world full of miracles, kind and cozy.
Our book is a guide to this world. Under its cover, like guests at the festive table, are gathered Easter stories and poems—from the most famous to the very rare. These short articles will explain, simply and clearly, how Easter cakes came to be and what happens in church on Easter night. They'll help you dye eggs using methods passed down from generation to generation before chemical dyes were used, and prepare a curd paskha (Easter cake) using the recipe of Alexander Blok's aunts. They'll teach you how to play ball and "stop, don't take it!" They'll show you how Easter was celebrated in villages for centuries, and how the oh-so-serious classics of Russian literature enjoyed the holiday.
Open it, and you'll hear the distant, jubilant ringing of bells, feel a taste of childhood, and immediately remember what it's like when "Christ is risen!"—"Truly He is risen!"—is heard.
