    Dear brother, with no offense, Easter does not derive from Eastern. It derives from the name of a pagan goddess whose feast we have baptised to honor our risen Lord.

    He is risen indeed brother!

      Christ is Risen brother John,

      Thanks for noting the Easter, it seems you’re right and my understanding of Easter’s etymology was wrong.
      However, in most Slavic languages, the name for Easter either means “Great Day” or “Great Night”. For example, Wielkanoc, Veľká noc and Velikonoce mean “Great Night” or “Great Nights” in Polish, Slovak and Czech, respectively. Велигден (Veligden), Великдень (Velykden), Великден (Velikden), and Вялікдзень (Vyalikdzyen’) mean “The Great Day” in Macedonian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Belarusian, respectively.

      I mean the Slavonic meaning of Easter is connected to Orthodox Christianity, thus I thought that my logic was right 🙂

      Yes he is Risen!

    Hey,
    Can you tell me where the icon of Christ is Risen comes from?

      Heya,
      I forgot, where I took it from when blogging. I don’t hold copyrights to the picture or icon. It is a Russian icon so the original should be (presumably) somewhere in Russia.

    Barszcz biały czy żurek? Nie wiadomo co lepsze na wielkanoc ale zawsze warto wypróbować różne przepisy.
