Пасха

Today was Easter Пасха (pAs-ha) on our side of the world.  We had a great morning with our church group.  As in the states, when someone says to you Christ has risen and you reply with Christ has risen, indeed.  Here we say Христос воскрес (khris-tOs) (vas-krEs), and reply with Воистину воскрес (va-Ist-in-oo) (vas-krEs)!

The day is always celebrated with traditional Easter bread called Кулич (kOO-lich). It’s usually kinda dry, but redeems itself with a nice frosting on the top.

And I had to take some pictures of our cute girls in their springy dresses, even on this rainy day.
