Easter is one of the most significant Orthodox holidays, both in Russia and among Christians around the world. Along with Christmas, Easter is celebrated on a grand scale, with all the “breadth of the Russian soul.”
This Bright Holiday is endowed with its own traditions and special dishes that are prepared exclusively on this day.
When is Easter 2018 celebrated: date and traditions
One of the features Happy Easter is that it does not have a specific celebration date. The only thing that remains unchanged is Sunday. Every year the Orthodox celebration is celebrated either in April or in May. What determines such a spread in dates?
To find out what date Easter falls on, they use the lunar calendar. It is not difficult to determine this; the main thing is to know the schedule of all moon cycles. The Orthodox holiday falls on the first Sunday, which occurs after the first spring phase of the full moon. Church calendars are compiled on this basis.
Holiday traditions
What does the Easter holiday bring with it? It is always light, faith in the best and infinite superiority of life and goodness over the world of darkness and death.
The celebration is accompanied by Orthodox traditions, dating back to ancient times. Of course, many of them have outlived their usefulness or have been radically transformed, but many still remain relevant to this day.
The remembrance of deceased relatives, friends and loved ones remains unchanged on this holiday. In some regions of Russia, on this day visits are made to cemeteries to honor the memory, despite the fact that, according to tradition, this action is performed a week after Easter.
Another traditional event is the observance of Maundy Thursday, which takes place 3 days before the main celebration. On this day, Orthodox people restore order in their home, their thoughts and body, that is, they restore cleanliness.
But, perhaps, the most important and beloved tradition for everyone was painting Easter eggs and baking Easter cakes, which are symbols of Easter. Many people now make it easier for themselves to prepare for the holiday by simply buying ready-made Easter cakes, the choice of which is huge on store shelves.
Another symbol of the holiday is Lent, which according to tradition must be maintained for 48 days, and its completion falls on Easter Sunday. Fasting is observed for spiritual and physical cleansing.
However, few people currently strictly observe all the requirements of Lent, since the modern rhythm of life and refusal of food are incompatible things. And the Orthodox Church is now loyal to the fact of abandoning Fasting, believing that the main thing for a person is the purification of his thoughts.
On the night before Easter, services are held in temples and churches, accompanied by the blessing of festive food - eggs and Easter cakes, which are then placed on the table. By the way, there is a fun tradition of an egg breaking competition, the meaning of which is who can break them the most.
Another Christian tradition during the celebration of Easter is to say “Christ is Risen!” as a sign of greeting.
These symbolic actions, timed to coincide with the celebration of Easter, are observed with pleasure by millions of Orthodox Russians.
Easter is also the day of the end of Lent, so the festive table is replete with various dishes. But the main symbols of the holiday are present on every table in every home. These are Easter colored eggs, Easter cake and Curd Easter, which is prepared with various tasty, sweet additives.
What's delicious to cook for Easter? Because eggs are the "nail" holiday menu, then they can be used in various dishes, for example, salads, pies and pies, made from aspic, stuffed with a variety of fillings.
Also, the presence of meat dishes from beef and poultry will not be amiss. Baskets filled with various fruits and sweets will be a great addition as a treat.

They began preparing for the festive table on Maundy Thursday. They baked Thursday salt, painted and painted Easter eggs, and then laid them on green oats or wheat, which were specially grown for the holiday. They prepared Easter, baked pancakes, Easter cakes, women and Easter gingerbread in the form of doves, cockerels, bunnies and eggs. They didn’t forget to prepare some quick food.

Easter is a real holiday of fantasy for experienced housewives and a test of strength and skills for beginner housewives.
Today we will share with you tips and recipes on what to cook for Easter, which will definitely help you prepare truly delicious Easter dishes.
1. To prepare Easter, you will definitely need a pasochka - a special detachable mold consisting of four plates. The inner side of the pasochnitsa plates is usually decorated with the letters ХВ and images of a cross, spear, sprouts and flowers. Bean boxes are made from a variety of materials, but traditional wooden or more modern plastic ones are considered the best today. Of course, a plastic bean box is more convenient from a hygienic point of view (it is easier to clean, it cannot become clogged with the remains of cottage cheese and cream, etc.), but how can cold plastic compare with the warmth and living tenderness of wood? One way or another, the choice is yours. When buying a bean bag, be sure to check whether it is easy to assemble and fit snugly 
plates to each other.
2. Easter is prepared from cottage cheese, cream, butter and various flavorings (nuts, candied fruits, zest, spices). It is very important to choose the right products from which you will cook. Pay special attention to the freshness of cottage cheese, butter and cream! Only from very fresh ingredients can you prepare truly delicious and tender Easter. Try to choose fresh, homogeneous and dry cottage cheese. Before cooking, rub it through a sieve twice. Rubbed through a sieve, the cottage cheese will turn out tender, light and airy. Try to take 30% cream, fatty and thick, butter - soft, plastic and the freshest. To beat the curd mass, it is most convenient to use a mixer, then the Easter will turn out soft, tender and full of air and lightness.
3. Everyone is free to choose additives for Easter according to their taste and capabilities. The main criterion when choosing additives should be their freshness. After all, even a slight smell of mustiness or mold from nuts or candied fruits can ruin all your efforts in preparing Easter. Carefully sort the nuts, peel, fry and chop. Rinse raisins and dried fruits thoroughly and dry on a towel, finely chop the candied fruits and soak in rum or cognac, grate the zest in advance. Grind dry spices (cardamom, star anise, ginger) in a coffee grinder. Natural vanilla can be replaced with vanilla essence or vanilla sugar (the first is preferable).
4. Easter is prepared in three types - raw, boiled and custard. Let's start with the simplest raw Easter. Carefully rub two kilograms of cottage cheese through a sieve. 150 gr. soft butter grind until white with 150 gr. Sahara. Without ceasing to grind, add 150 ml to the butter and sugar. sour cream, a tablespoon at a time. Grind everything together until the sugar crystals are completely dissolved. Combine the resulting mass with cottage cheese and 
beat thoroughly with a mixer. At the very end, add nuts, candied fruits, spices and mix thoroughly but gently. Place the finished curd mass in a bowl lined with gauze, cover with a bottom or saucer and put in a cool place for 10 - 12 hours.

Without ceasing to grind the mass, enter 5 in turn fresh eggs. Transfer the mixture to a thick-bottomed saucepan, place on the fire and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Be careful not to let the mixture burn! As soon as the curd mass boils, remove the pan from the heat and, if possible, quickly cool (for example, by placing it in a bowl of cold water), without ceasing to stir. Add 2 cups to the cooled curd mixture powdered sugar, nuts, candied fruits and spices to taste. Beat everything together using a mixer. Place the finished curd mass in a bowl and put it in a cool place for 12 hours.
6. Custard Easter is the most tender and delicious. Rub 500 g through a sieve. cottage cheese.

Wash the cake pans in advance, grease the inner walls with oil, cover the bottom with oiled baking paper, sprinkle the walls and bottom with finely crushed breadcrumbs. Don't forget to dry and sift the flour thoroughly. It is best to use pressed yeast rather than dry yeast.
8. Like other products from butter dough, can be prepared using sponge or non-sponge methods. Let's prepare the simplest single cake. Dilute 30 gr. yeast in a small amount of warm milk. Mix two glasses of flour with one glass of warm milk, then add your foamed yeast, knead the dough thoroughly, transfer it to a saucepan, cover with a towel and place in a warm place.
