Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays. The exact date of the holiday changes from year to year but it usually falls on April. Preparation for Easter starts seven weeks before the actual holiday. It’s called the advent of Lent. Many Christian people don’t eat meat and animal products during this period. The week before Easter is quite busy because people start thoroughly preparing for the holiday. The traditions of Easter celebration vary from country to country. For example, in our country the Sunday before Easter is called a Willow Sunday. On this day people bring home some willow branches which have been blessed in church. Thursday before Easter is called Clean Thursday. Traditionally people should bathe before sunrise on this day. Houses and flats should be cleaned too.
Объяснение:
Пасха является одним из самых важных христианских праздников. Точная дата праздника меняется из года в год, однако обычно это выпадает на апрель. Подготовка к Пасхе начинается за семь недель до самого праздника. Это время появления Великого Поста. Многие христиане не едят мясо и продукты животного происхождения в этот период. Неделя до Пасхи довольно загруженная, потому что люди начинают основательно готовиться к празднику. Традиции празднования Пасхи различны во всех странах. Например, в нашей стране воскресенье перед Пасхой называется Вербным воскресеньем. В этот день люди приносят домой несколько веточек вербы, освещенные в церкви. Четверг перед Пасхой называется Чистый четверг. Традиционно в этот день люди должны искупаться до восхода солнца. Дома и квартиры должны быть также убраны.
