Happy Easter!
On 12 April 2026, Orthodox Christians in Russia celebrate
one of the most important and joyful holidays — Easter. This day symbolises the
triumph of life over death, as well as hope, renewal, and spiritual rebirth. By
tradition, people exchange kind words, greetings, and wishes for peace, love,
and well-being.
On the night from Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday, a festive
service was held at the Church of Saint Seraphim of Sarov on the grounds of the
National Centre RUSSIA. Parishioners, local residents, and employees from the
nearby business district along Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment gathered for
prayer.
"Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Dear brothers and
sisters, I congratulate you all on the bright feast of Christ’s Resurrection
and wish that the risen Christ may grant us light, joy, and faith in what He has
revealed to us — that He has opened the doors of paradise and overcome our
greatest enemies," said Acting Rector of the Church of Saint Seraphim of
Sarov, Priest Dmitry Kashirin.
The Church of Saint Seraphim of Sarov was specially
decorated for the holiday. The design was inspired by the "Hen"
Easter egg, based on the Imperial Faberge Easter eggs.
