PÂQUES ORTHODOXE

Orthodox Easter is usually celebrated one week after the Roman Catholic Easter but this is not always the case. The next ones will be celebrated on May 2, 2021 and April 24, 2022. It's an important holiday in Russia. Don't miss to visit the churches, especially Notre-Dame-de-Kazan, during Holy Week and especially the Easter Vigil. A great show awaits you. It is customary to greet each other by saying, "Christ is risen! "(Христос воскресе), to which the answer is: "He is truly risen! "(Воистину воскресе).
