Easter is one of the most important celebrations in Moldova this celebration has a lot of traditions. I want to describe some of them from Thursday and until Monday, the second day of Easter. Starting Thursday, people cease work on the field and focus on the houses, the land, for everything to be clean. Also on Thursday women begin to cook bread. Friday women paint eggs. Symbolic red eggs come from the passion of Jesus Christ who was beaten with stones that turned into red eggs. Saturday is the last day for the preparation of Easter, when women need to prepare most meals, and make the last preparations to the new clothes they will dress in days of Easter. Saturday is the day when people sacrifice the lamb, which is traditional food. Early Sunday morning, after first rooster crows, everyone gets up to go to the service of Resurrection. After church all family members sit for the first Easter festive meal. First day of Easter should be spent quietly. Is prohibited any fun activity. Monday, the second day of Easter, people give alms for the dead, going in most cases to the cemetery. The biggest celebration of the Christians, the Resurrection of Christ, is the opportunity for Moldovans to live holy moments of joy, but also to celebrate in the community.
