How Easter is celebrated in Transcarpathia: traditions and festive table

It all starts with the consecration of a willow tree in the church on Palm Sunday. Then it is brought home and traditionally lightly beaten with it by loved ones, saying: "I don't beat - the willow beats, Easter is a week from now." In this way, they wish for happiness and health.

If you want to see everything with your own eyes, book a room at Lake Vita for Easter. This way you will be sure not to miss the most interesting things.

For the holiday, each family makes pysanky. Everyone has their own version. Then they are put in a basket, along with Easter eggs, salt, cheese, bread, buttered lamb, horseradish, sausage, breast, shovdar, homemade wine, etc. In Transcarpathia, Easter eggs are usually blessed on the night from Saturday to Sunday. And the Saturday before Easter is the last day of Lent.

In many Transcarpathian villages, the tradition of quickly running home after blessing the basket with Easter eggs has still been preserved. Whoever manages to run home first will have a large and rich farm.

They don't go into the house right away. First, they need to spread a towel under the threshold and stand on it. They need to say and respond three times: "Christ is risen!" — "Truly he is risen!". Only then did they enter the house with the consecrated Easter cake and set the Easter table. When the family gathers at the table, they say a prayer, and then treat themselves to eggs and Easter cake. If everything is done this way, there will be harmony, peace, and love in the family. And then you can enjoy other Easter dishes.
