saturday before easter

The Saturday before Easter you must take your Easter items--the Russian Easter cake called kulich, dyed eggs, willows branches, and I didn't think of this until I saw it today at the church, wine-- to church. Everyone, from grandmothers to a dude in motorcycle leathers with a guitar strapped in on his back, lit a beeswax church candle in their kulich and the priest sprinkled holy water and blessed everything.

park kultury metro stop today

The Park Kultury metro was bustling and normal this afternoon. You'd never know anything happened, almost.
