Easter is the brightest holiday in Christendom. On this day, the Christian church honors the Resurrection of God's son Jesus [Christ]. The holiday is mobile and is celebrated on the Sunday of Holy Week, which begins with the first spring full moon.
Some of the traditions and customs of Easter date back to antiquity. According to an old custom, the Resurrection of Christ is celebrated for 3 days, and the preparations for its celebration begin during Holy Week.
The eggs are painted early in the morning on Holy Thursday or Holy Saturday, and the first egg must be dipped in red paint, symbolizing the blood of Christ. On Easter morning, a cross is made with the same egg on the foreheads of the children, and then on the other family members.
The egg is placed in a prominent place in the home, where it will replace last year's egg, which brought health, well-being and luck to all residents of the home. Many ancient peoples believed that the egg as a symbol of rebirth and a new beginning.
Fighting with Easter eggs is one of the happiest moments of Easter, which is always expected with great impatience and joy from the kids. The custom expresses the struggle for health and victory over the next 12 months. According to tradition, the "borac" will enjoy health, well-being and luck.
Another important part of the Easter customs is the preparation of the Easter cake. He is believed to represent the body of Jesus Christ. Easter Easter cake was introduced in Bulgaria at the beginning of the 20th century, and until then Easter was celebrated with various Easter ritual breads and pies.
Traditionally, on Easter, all family members change into new clothes, symbolizing the emerging new life in the spring and the Resurrection of Christ.
At midnight before Easter, a solemn service is held in the churches and at 0.00 o'clock the priest announces the Resurrection of the Son of God with the words Christ is Risen!, and in response those present respond Truly He is Risen!. The priest takes out a lighted candle, from which everyone lights their candles, which they then try to carry into their catfish.
