Great Saturday

From Euro Maiden’s Facebook:



Good morning World! Good morning Ukraine!

Today is Velyka Subota (Great Saturday) in Ukraine, the third day of reflection and prayer in the Ukrainian Easter cycle. 

The traditional taboos on merrymaking and eating meat are carried over from the previous days. However, there is joy and expectation in the air as streets fill with the faithful carrying beautiful Easter baskets of all shapes and sizes to be blessed at the nearest church.

The traditional Ukrainian Easter morning breakfast of hard-boiled eggs, various meats, sausages and ham, butter, paska, salt, horseradish, and cheese will be enjoyed the next day, at Easter breakfast.
