Easter is the feast of Christ’s resurrection. In Ukraine Easter is called Velykden (The Great Day). In Ukraine Easter has been celebrated over a long period of history and has had many rich folk traditions.  Velykden was celebrated thousands of years ago as the victory of the Light over the Dark, Day over Night, Spring over Winter. 

The last Sunday before Easter is called Willow Sunday (Verbna nedilia). On this day pussy-willow branches are blessed in the church.

 The week before Easter, the Great (Velykyi) Week (Holy Week, )is called the White (Bilyi) or Pure (Chystyi) Week. During this time an effort is made to finish all field work before Thursday, since from Thursday on work is forbidden. 

On Passion (Strasna) Friday—Good Friday—no work is done. 

Saturday evening people gather in the church  and bless their baskets with food. After that people go home to celebrate Easter with their families. If they meet other people on the way they say: “Christ is risen!” and these people should reply “Risen indeed”. All the people exchange Easter greetings and give each other painted eggs (krashanky). Easter cake (Paska) and painted eggs (‘Krashanki’) are the symbols of Ukrainian Easter and obligatory food on the table this day.  

On this Day Ukrainian kids play their favorite Easter game: knocking the eggs. If you knock somebody’s egg and your egg is not broken than you are the winner. The krashanky and pysanky (Easter eggs) are an old preChristian element and have an important role in the Easter rites. 

On this day they are given as gifts or exchanged.
