My favorite holiday is Passover. It is a day when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the main Orthodox holiday. I really like helping MOM to bake cakes, painted eggs and glue the label on them. And it seems the very nature rejoices together with people: bloom green leaves, the birds are singing happily. Easter is celebrated the week before Palm Sunday. A few days before the start of Passover preparation begins. In a Holy Thursday all Orthodox people lead in the House. It was a period of preparation of festive treats. At Easter, all try to treat each other and tell the good news of the resurrection of Christ.
