The Vespers which begins Lazarus Saturday officially brings Great Lent to a close, although the fast continues through the following week. After Lazarus Saturday comePalm SundayHoly Week, and finally Easter itself, and the fast is broken immediately after the Paschal Divine Liturgy.



Tradition of Giving Easter Eggs-

The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead. They believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus defeated death and sin and offers people the promise of eternal life if they follow his teachings.These eggs are painted in bright colors to give them further meaning as a gift.

They are all symbols of rebirth and the Lamb was a traditional religious sacrifice.Easter falls in the spring, the yearly time of renewal, when the earth renews itself after a long, cold winter. The word Easter comes to us from the Norsemen’s Eostur, Easter, Ostara, and Ostar, and the pagan goddess Eostre, all of which involve the season of the growing sun and new birth. The Easter Bunny arose originally as a symbol of fertility, due to the rapid reproduction habits of the hare and rabbit. 
That’s the reason one offer Easter Eggs to dear ones.

Easter Monday
Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and is celebrated as a holiday in largely Christian cultures.Especially On Easter Monday’s families go out for picnic ,enjoy time with one another and rejoice in Christ Name.
