Olga Prokofieva's book is dedicated to the history of Easter (the Bright Resurrection of Christ) celebrations in the Russian Empire. The book's main material covers the last quarter of the 19th and first decade of the 20th century. The first part of the book is devoted to preparations for the holiday, beginning with Maslenitsa festivities and Lent. It covers Lenten menus, traditions of decorating the home for Easter, a selection of Easter gifts, and, of course, ancient cuisine with its intricacies of preparing traditional Easter treats: paskha (paskha), kulich (Easter cakes), baba (babushkas), and dyed eggs. In the second part, the author discusses the Holy Matins, Easter visits and games, Easter celebrations at the imperial court, and much more.

The text is accompanied by unique illustrations. An appendix introduces Easter gifts and some Easter recipes.

The book will help the reader immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Easter.
