Easter 2019 in Russia. Russian and other Christian Churches in Vladivostok
Hello again, friends! In this video, we will tell you about Easter in Russia and show you Russian & other Churches in Vladivostok.
There are about 40 Russian Orthodox chapels in Vladivostok. Nowadays the biggest one is:
• Russian Orthodox Church Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God at Pokrovsky Park.
Another one is
• CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE MOST HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
• ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH
April 28, 2019, is Orthodox Easter Day in Russia, a holiday so important people celebrated it even during the atheist
Soviet era. To this day Russians observe many Easter traditions, just the way their ancestors did. Although there are no Easter bunnies or chocolate eggs, celebrations involve unique and beautiful customs—here are some of them.
Easter in Russia is called Paskha (Пасха). The name presumably derives from the Jewish holiday of Pesach, which was dedicated to the release of Jews from Egyptian slavery. Another origin theory says it comes from the Greek phrase “I suffer”. In accordance with Christian tradition, the word signifies transitioning with Christ from death to eternity and from earth to heaven.
It’s a shifting holiday
Russian Easter shifts from year to year because it falls on the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon. Paskha is usually celebrated later than Catholic Easter, because the Russian Orthodox Church follows the old Julian calendar, unlike the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, which have been using the Gregorian calendar since the 16th century.
People fast before Easter
Paskha is preceded by 40 days of Great Lent, the most important event in the Orthodox church year. Those who observe it are not supposed to eat meat, dairy and, on some days, even vegetable oils. On the last Friday before Easter (Good Friday), no food or drink should be consumed until the evening.
Easter requires preparation
Russians are supposed to do all their pre-Easter chores during the last week before the holiday, also known as the Holy Week. Houses should be thoroughly cleaned before “Clean Thursday”, which is when Russians dye and decorate eggs.
On Saturdays, everyone cooks traditional Easter food and those who fast are not allowed to taste it while cooking. It is also common to bless the food at church during the night service.
Easter customs
In Russia, the Easter church service starts on Saturday evening and lasts until dawn. This is usually an impressive ceremony with candle lights and liturgical chants attended even by those who don’t attend mass frequently. At midnight, the bells are rung to announce the resurrection of Christ; the priest says “Christ is risen!” and parishioners are supposed to respond with “He is truly risen!”
Traditional food is still popular
On Easter morning most families in Russia, no matter how religious they are, will probably enjoy a traditional breakfast of eggs, kulich (кулич)—a special kind of yeast bread, and paskha—a pyramid-shaped cake made of cottage cheese and raisins. Even though food stores offer ready-made kulichi and paskhas, many people prefer to make them using family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.
There’s a special greeting
Russians rarely stay at home on Easter; this holiday is all about family gatherings and festive dinners. So throughout the day people exchange Easter eggs, kiss each other on the cheek three times, and often say “Christ is risen!” to each other, responding with “He is truly risen!”
Easter lasts 40 days
The first week after Easter is considered holy, during this period church services are held with their holy doors open—symbolizing Christ opening the kingdom of heaven to all people. In fact, the 40-day period between Easter and Ascension Day is referred to as paschal (пасчал).

Парки Ростова-на-Дону (часть 2)
Покровский сквер расположен вдоль центральной улице города. На входе в сквер со стороны Кировского проспекта и Большой Садовой работает фонтан, недалеко от фонтана установлена бронзовая скульптура Первый водопровод. В сквере достаточно зелено и уютно. Кроме того в центре сквера расположен Старо-Покровский храм, возле которого установлен памятник императрице Елизавете Петровне. В годы советской власти она была закрыта, в 1930-х годах разрушена, и на её месте был установлен памятник С. М. Кирову.
В Покровском сквере установлен памятник первому водопроводу — бронзовая скульптура женщины в одежде XIX века набирает воду из колонки.
В 2009 году Покровский сквер был признан лучшим объектом озеленения Ростова-на-Дону,
Театральная площадь — центральная площадь Ростова-на-Дону, где проходят все главные массовые мероприятия. По разным оценкам, на ней раз может разместиться до 100 тысяч человек. На площади расположены две достопримечательности: театр имени Максима Горького (в народе называется трактор, потому что по форме его напоминает; макет театра хранится в Британском музее Лондона) и 70-метровая стела в честь Освободителей Ростова-на-Дону от фашистов. К Театральной площади примыкает парк Революции, в котором для гостей города работает третье по величине в России колесо обозрения. С высоты птичьего полета открывается шикарный вид на Ростов, реку Дон и новый стадион «Ростов-Арену».
Детский парк имени Вити Черевичкина — один из парков Ростова-на-Дону; единственный детский парк города.
Парк основан в 1880 году. Историческое его название — Александровский сад — было принято по решению нахичеванской городской Думы в честь «торжественного дня 25-летия славного царствования Его Императорского Величества Августейшего Монарха Императора Александра II». В 1894 году здесь была установлена Александровская колонна — 11-метровая копия Александрийского столпа.
С 1936 года парк назывался «Детский парк пионеров и школьников»] В нем были оборудованы канал с мостиками и большая сцена для представлений. С 1965 года парк носит имя Вити Черевичкина — ростовского подростка, убитого немецкими оккупантами.
Новобрачные города на счастье начали вешать замки на переходном мостике парка, благодаря чему у него появилось новое название — «Мостик любви и счастья».
Парк культуры и отдыха имени Николая Островского — самый большой парк культуры и отдыха в Ростове-на-Дону. Основан в 1894 году, территория — 63,1 га. Назван в честь известного писателя советской эпохи Н. А. Островского. В парке расположены такие культурные и развлекательные места как: плавательный бассейн, футбольные поля, клуб альпинистов и юных пожарных, залы штангистов, ручного мяча и борцов, теннисные корты, стадион Олимп-2, настоящая детская железная дорога.

The Life And Death Of Andrey Bogolyubsky
Andrei I Yuryevich, commonly known under his sobriquet Andrei Bogolyubsky (Russian: Андрей Боголюбский, Andrei the God-Loving) (c. 1111 – June 28, 1174) was Grand prince of Vladimir-Suzdal from 1157 till his death. His reign saw a complete decline of Kiev's rule over northeastern Rus, and rise of Vladimir as the new capital city. Andrei was known in the West as Scythian Caesar, and is beatified as a saint in Russian Orthodox Church.
He was the son of Yuri Dolgoruki, who proclaimed Andrei a prince in Vyshhorod (near Kiev). His mother was a Polovtsian (Cuman) princess, khan Aepa's/Ayepa's daughter.
Andrei left Vyshhorod in 1155 and moved to Vladimir. Promoting development of feudal relations, he relied on a team and on Vladimir’s townspeople; he connected to trading-craft business of Rostov and Suzdal. After his father’s death (1157), he became Knyaz (prince) of Vladimir, Rostov and Suzdal.
Andrei Bogolyubsky tried to unite Rus' lands under his authority. From 1159 he persistently struggled for submission of Novgorod to his authority and conducted a complex military and diplomatic game in South Rus. In 1169 his troops sacked Kiev. After plundering the city, stealing much religious artwork, which included the Byzantine Mother of God icon. Andrei appointed his brother Gleb as prince of Kiev, in an attempt to unify his lands with Kiev. Following his brother's death in 1171, Andrei became embroiled in a two year war to maintain control over Kiev, which ended in his defeat.
Andrei achieved the right to receive a tribute from the population of the Northern Dvina land. Becoming ruler of all Suzdal land, Andrei Bogolyubsky transferred his capital to Vladimir, strengthened it and constructed the magnificent Assumption Cathedral, the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, and other churches and monasteries. Under his leadership Vladimir was much enlarged, and fortifications were built around the city.
At the same time the castle Bogolyubovo was built next to Vladimir, and was a favorite residence of his. In fact he received his nickname Bogolyubsky in honor of this place. It was he who brought the Theotokos of Vladimir to the city whose name it now bears. During Andrei Bogolyubsky’s reign Vladimir-Suzdal principality attained significant power and was the strongest among the Rus' principalities.
Amplification of princely authority and conflict with outstanding boyars was the cause of a plot against Andrei Bogolyubsky, as a result of which he was killed on the night of June 28 to June 29, 1174. Twenty of his disgruntled retainers burst into his chambers and slew Andrei in his bed. His silver-inlaid war axe can now be viewed at the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
His son, Yuri Bogolyubsky, was the first husband of Queen Tamar of Georgia. An ancient icon, Theotokos of Bogolyubovo is associated with him.

SUMMARY
=======
Saint Catherine of Alexandria, or Saint Catharine of Alexandria, also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel and The Great Martyr Saint Catherine (Coptic: Ϯⲁⲅⲓⲁ Ⲕⲁⲧⲧⲣⲓⲛ, Greek: ἡ Ἁγία Αἰκατερίνη ἡ Μεγαλομάρτυς – translation: Holy Catherine the Great Martyr, Latin: Catharina Alexandrina) is, according to tradition, a Christian saint and virgin, who was martyred in the early 4th century at the hands of the pagan emperor Maxentius. According to her hagiography, she was both a princess and a noted scholar, who became a Christian around the age of 14, converted hundreds of people to Christianity, and was martyred around the age of 18. More than 1,100 years following her martyrdom, Saint Joan of Arc identified Catherine as one of the Saints who appeared to her and counselled her.The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates her as a Great Martyr and celebrates her feast day on 24 or 25 November (depending on the regional tradition). In Catholicism she is traditionally revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. In 1969 the Roman Catholic Church removed her feast day from the General Roman Calendar; however, she continued to be commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 25 November. In 2002, her feast was restored to the General Roman Calendar as an optional memorial.
Some modern scholars consider that the legend of Catherine was probably based on the life and murder of the Greek philosopher Hypatia, with reversed roles of Christians and pagans.
