On April 28, Orthodox Christians will celebrate Easter. Thousands of believers will go to churches of Ukraine this day to consecrate products for the festive table. What can be brought to the church on this day, and what is prohibited to consecrate?

This year, Orthodox Christians of the Eastern rite wcelebrate Easter on April 28. The feast was established in honor of the resurrection of Jesus Christ - the center of all biblical history and the foundation of all Christian doctrine.



Since the Easter holiday does not have a clear binding to a specific date, the day of the Orthodox celebration can be calculated with the help of the Alexandria special calendar. Every year, Easter falls only on Sunday.



As you know, sometime after the 49-day fasting, it was decided to consecrate only bread (Paska), eggs, meat, cheese and milk, but now Orthodox Christians consecrate everything they put on their holiday table.
