Symbols of light Easter
The spring holiday of Easter, although it is purely religious celebration, but in many countries it is adopted as state. The Resurrection of Christ is celebrated throughout the Christian world as the most important Orthodox holiday, giving faith in a new life, in salvation and happiness, in all the best things in life.

This interesting, but unconfirmed legend also served as the beginning of a beautiful tradition of painting Easter eggs. - Easter cake is the sweetest symbol of Easter. Initially, this bread was absolutely fresh, without sugar, raisins and other additives. The owners left their baked goods on the table in the hope that Christ would visit the house.
