I have been so busy with Easter on Sunday and getting together recipes!
Here is a collaboration of traditional Russian Easter dishes that I ate growing up, this year Easter falls next Sunday.
I am lucky I get to celebrate both American and Russian Easters! Easter or Paskha is the most important religious observance of the year in the Russian Orthodox Church. Easter in Russia is a lot more than just a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ♥

On Holy Saturday, a strict day fasting in which no food at all is allowed, families are nonetheless busy preparing for the Easter feast. The feast, served to break the fast after the midnight mass, includes the Paskha cake and Easter eggs which are blessed by the priest on Holy Saturday.Sunrise services in Russia are not common on Easter morning, instead Orthodox churches hold a midnight mass, with a procession around the church. When the clock strikes 12, church bells announce the resurrection of Christ.
Here is a medley of Russian dishes and recipes I hope everyone has a blessed, safe and Happy Easter!♥
