Great Easter “Knocking” game !

All people in Ukraine are waiting for Easter holiday! Four days of having rest between May the first and the fourth for all people all over Ukraine is an incredible Easter gift this year.
Normally Special Easter services are held in churches and many families celebrate the day with a special Easter meal. Easter meals often include the Paskha (a type of Easter bread) and an egg painted in red.
An Easter basket is filled with pysanky (decorated eggs) and blessed early on Easter Day in many homes. There are various Easter games, including one called “Knocking”. This game involves 2 players who have 1 egg each and try to knock each other’s eggs. The first one to have their egg broken loses the game.
This year Easter celebrations will not be so bright because of the pandemic. But many authentical places have a nice practice to invite tourists to show the traditions and customs connected with Easter and other religious holidays that are celebrated in Ukraine. I love visiting such places. One of them is called ethno farm Cossack Sich near Halushkivka village where you can celebrate Easter or Christmas or just visit this place and enjoy performances. I am going there this year , on May the first. Maybe you would like to meet there ? You know where to find me now , right ?
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE !
