Easter or Easter like. Easter or Easter: what do they eat during the resurrection of Christ (video)

Easter, paska and Easter cake. All these three words get used to the meaning of the same one - the Great Bread.

However, between the two understandings of the first song, wanting and carrying, difference.

Just for 2 years, during the launch of a new design for the site "Ukrainian Truth. Life" the version of Article 2010 was read over 50,000 short stories on the Internet.

Shards on this topic can hardly be written more, and the preparation for the Great Holy Day is three, probably the recipe for the rules of sipping the Christmas smakolik.

EASTER, PASKA CHI KULICH?

Today you can feel that all these three words get used to the meaning of the same one - the Great Bread. However, between the two understandings of the first song, wanting and carrying, difference.

So, Easter is a great day, made from orphan chi boiled orphan and pressed into the shape of a cut pyramid, which symbolizes the mushroom of the Lord, and with the letters "XV", which may mean Christ's victory over death, that yogo Holy Resurrection.

And from paska and kulich - tse Easter bread, so to fight with boroshn z adding other ingredients.

The stench is breathed in, fresher, less decorated in style. The Pasca is rightfully embellished with different symbols, with little vizorunks. And from kulіch they simply add white icing, as if to sing zі beaten іz tsukr squirrel, they stick with tsukr.

3 EVENING TO EVENING

"Earlier, the process of preparing paska took a lot of doba.

So, on Wednesday evening, they prepared a dough for paska. Eggs were beaten in advance into a row of dishes and left the troch to stand.

Todi Zhovtki reddish and paska bula yellow. They put the zamіshenu brew on the ground in the warmth of the place, and at night they wandered and marveled at how to get out of the heat, chi garno growth. Ring out, put on the couch", - share the thoughts of a 60-year-old sack of the village of Shevchenkove in Odessa Vira Sharhorodska.

“If you were too hot, then they presented bars, but the dough didn’t cook.

With a stretch of the whole fate, the guards were littered for the paskas in the best way. Zamisivshi, it was deprived of growth for 4-6 years. Later, from the finished dough, paskas were vibrated in cylindrical forms, they were again deprived of their growth by 2-3 years. At the same hour, they melted the pich and put the pekti paska on about 40-50 khvilin," added the gentleman from Odessa.

And from the 61st river mallet Ganna Booth, a folk mastrina from the preparation of a decorative stove, respected: “Coming to the brewing of apiaries, the housewife is guilty of being in a pure dress, with pure thoughts.

For a long time, having prepared all the ingredients, you can light a candle (or three, or you can only one), and she prays in her own words, God help the spectacle of paska high and delicious.

PASKY BILI, ZHOVTI TA... CHORNY

"In the sight of the bread, the pastures were shaken by their height. Chim vishcha bula paska, tim better,- rozpovidaє historian and ethnographer Leonid Shilov, Lord of the Ukrainian ethnographic museum "Khutir Savki".

For a long time, the paskas of three species were singing: white, yellow and black. They were dedicated to these souls, as if they had already entered the next world. They didn't give them more eggs.

And from the yellow, consecrated to the sun, they beat in a rich egg, to that stink of a yellow color.

Black paska boules for themselves. Even if people are alive to walk on the black earth, they made paska for themselves from the bog of life, aby tezh were black. When the paskas were ready, they would always put a booth in the closet, which symbolized the offering of a singing sacrifice.

Before Tim, they put pekti paska, pіch povnistyu cleaned. Then, if її were already spitting, they checked the first thing, that it wasn’t over baked, abi put pekti paska.

For whom there was a sprinkling of ways. Vira Shargorodskaya rozpoila that the stench in the first place put the newspaper. As soon as it burned, then it was minted.

And from Leonid Shilov, it seems that in the old days, if there were no newspapers, they threw them boisterously.

It turned out to be a brown color - they didn’t set the paska yet, they checked it, until you throw it to the stove, it didn’t turn bright golden.

"After that, as they grabbed the finished paska, they put their hands in the pich and said: "God grant the hands the same strength and the same mіts, like these little pasochkas."

And then they prayed their feet to the stove, and they said the same: "First legs are so beautiful and healthy, like a paska."

It was important, if it’s so robbit, then God send it healthy "I'm on the whole river", - seems like a gentleman to the museum.

VIPICANNYA PASOK TODAY

"Today, the vipikannya paska takes significantly less than an hour. On Wednesday, it’s enough to mix up the sound, rose in store dryers, and put yogo in heat, abi on the wound, throwing yourself smartly, you could once mix up the paska and put them in the oven", - rozpovida Vira Shargorodska.

They, in Odessa, bake paska more importantly at four.

However, it’s often that the mother-in-law helps to bake the bride’s paska and mother dons, and then they share among themselves, which in one of them pektimut on Wednesday, and in another - on Thursday.

And from the 37th river bag of the village of Bila Sovitsa on Zakarapatt Anna Lyakh it seems that in them paska was taken pekti on Saturday night.

If it’s dark, the stench will stifle dryness, as if it’s depriving a sprat of growth. Closer to pіvnochі pochinayut lipiti raznі embellish for paska.

It is important that the bird is in the center and the trojans or the leaves of the dovkol.

On the side of the obovs, the letters “ХВ” are waving at the ears, which mean the Easter welcome “Christ is Risen.” And even then put the pekti paska, aby won the bula is ready, while the sun is setting.

"As long as you mix it up for the paska, it’s still growing, yogo is covered with a towel, and the beast at the sight of the cross is to put a willow, sacred in advance of the week.

And before that, how to put a paska of pekti, put two spikelets of consecrated consecrated wheat on the left of the Trinity of wheat at the form.

It’s also necessary to reconsider, what is it to settle down, if the master viimatime bakes paska, come in someone else’s - that’s a filthy sign", - to share the secrets of the distant Paska Anna Lyakh.

ORTHODOX LOOK

It is clear that the tradition of baking paska is still like the pre-Christian hours.

However, the rector of the St. John the Theological Church in Odessa father Vasil rozpovida, that the tradition of consecrating bread at the hour of the Great Liturgy was planted by the apostles.

As a sign of the invisible presence of the Savior among them, the stench was swamped at the table at the hour of the meal in the free space and bread was placed in front of him (Greek - "artos").

Kulich, or paska, is the home equivalent of arthos, which is one of the oldest symbols of the Resurrection of Christ.

Easter - Bright Resurrection of Christ, main holiday Christian. This year, the Orthodox celebrate the holiday on May 1, while the Catholics have already celebrated March 27.

The Church celebrates Easter for 40 days - the same as Christ was with the disciples after His Resurrection. The first week after the Resurrection of Christ is called the Bright or Easter week.

Easter is the most ancient and important holiday of the liturgical year.

History of Easter

The Old Testament Passover (Pesach) was celebrated as a remembrance of the exodus of the sons of Israel from Egypt and deliverance from slavery.

In apostolic times, Easter united two memories: the sufferings and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The days preceding the Resurrection were called the Passover of Suffering. Days after the Resurrection - Easter of the Cross or Easter of the Resurrection.

In the early centuries of Christianity, different communities celebrated Easter at different times. In the East, in Asia Minor, it was celebrated on the 14th day of the month of Nisan (March-April), no matter what day of the week this number falls on. The Western Church celebrated Easter on the first Sunday after the spring full moon.

The Orthodox Church determines the date of the celebration of Easter according to the Alexandrian Paschalia: the holiday must be on the Sunday after the Jewish Passover, after the full moon and after the spring equinox.

The meaning of the holiday


For Christians, this holiday means the transition from death to eternal life with Christ - from earth to heaven, which is also proclaimed by Easter hymns: "Easter, Lord's Easter! From death to life, and from earth to heaven, Christ God has brought us, victorious singing" .

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ revealed the glory of His Divinity, hidden until then under the cover of humiliation: shameful and terrible death on the cross next to crucified criminals and thieves.

With His Resurrection, Jesus Christ blessed and confirmed the resurrection for all people.

Days before Easter


After the Last Supper, Christ with his disciples goes to the garden of Gethsemane and, leaving them, prays alone before suffering and death on the cross. Here he was captured by the guards, put on trial and died on the cross. They talk about it last days holy week:

Maundy Thursday - spiritual cleansing, acceptance of the sacrament;

Good Friday - the suffering of Jesus Christ; burial of his body;

Great Saturday - the day of sorrow and expectation of the resurrection of Christ; and finally, the bright resurrection of Christ.

Holiday name


There are several legends about the origin of the name of the holiday. According to one of them, the name "Easter" appeared only at the end of the first millennium with the advent of Christianity on the Ukrainian land. The legend says that "Easter is called so because at the time when Christ was born, the sun was shining strongly and there were such long days, the current must be added seven, so that there is one then. Then it was like the sun would rise on Sunday morning, then it would go down on Saturday evening. And as they crucified Christ, the days decreased. Now only the royal gates in the church stand wide open for seven days."

Often people call the holiday "Paska" - which is not correct, because there is "Kulich" and there is "Easter" - this is ritual sweet bread and sweet curd mass.

In Ukraine, in both cases, the name "paska" is used, only in the second case, "cheese paska" is necessarily specified, it is also called "curd easter".

Easter or Easter cake? Easter or Great Day? What is right? What is not? What are the arguments? Who is to blame and what to do? The essence of the "Easter dispute" in Ukrainian society is modern philology, or rather the question of how to speak and write correctly.

Opinions are divided: some users claim that there can be no "Easter" - only Great Day, while the other part is convinced that it is not worth chopping off the shoulder and both options are acceptable.

The dispute "Paska, Easter cake, or even Easter" is often commented on in the context of the fact that these are generally different things.

It also comes to large-scale verbal battles in social networks, including with the participation of famous personalities (look in the comments to the post):

History of Easter

The prototype of the Christian Easter was the Old Testament Easter, which was celebrated in memory of the Exodus of the Jewish people from 400 years of Egyptian slavery.

Pesach (Jewish Passover) - in Hebrew "passover" (literally "passed", "passed by") - a symbol of the fact that the Angel of Death passed through Jewish homes, destroying the firstborn of Egypt.

Appeared before the Exodus and was originally associated with cattle breeding, and later with agriculture.

In the New Testament, the name of the holiday acquired a new interpretation - liberation from the slavery of sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

"Easter" is a word both Russian, and Ukrainian, and Greek, and Aramaic. But the adjective "Easter" arose on a Latin basis.

As you can see, in both languages ​​dictionaries note the predominance of the variant "Easter" over "Paska", considering the latter the result of folk word formation.

Where is the Great Day celebrated, and where are Easter cakes baked?

At some point, both words Easter and Velikden were used in parallel. But is it so now?

Let's listen to linguists - they will prompt modern accents.

There is a position voiced by Anatoly Vasyanovich:

"Easter" and "Great Day" are stylistic synonyms, only "Easter" is a church book, "Paska" is a colloquial, phonetic version of "Easter", and the main name is still "Great Day"

Another position is based on the dictionary fixation of the word "Easter". For example, one of its supporters, philologist Oleksandr Avramenko, claims that "Easter" is a Jewish holiday, while Ukrainians celebrate the Great Day. "Pasca" is also called food - sweet white bread.

If we turn to Russian-Ukrainian dictionaries, we will see that the Easter holiday is called the Great Day, and the festive dish is paska:

So both points of view have the right to life, and yet linguists recommend saying Great Day.

If you do not want to use controversial words, there is a compromise - synonyms.

Karavansky S. Practical Dictionary of Synonyms Ukrainian language Photos from open sources

Now about Easter cakes. The word "Kulich" is Greek, so called sweet bread.


Photos from open sources

So how is it right?

If we speak in Russian about the feast of the Resurrection - this is Easter.

If we speak in Russian about dishes for this holiday, we call a rich product "Kulich", curd - "Easter".

It is grammatically correct to "consecrate five Easters", although "pasok" prevails in oral speech.

The word "paska" in Russian has a colloquial connotation.

We consecrate both Easter cakes and Easter (from the word "sanctify").

If we are talking about the Feast of the Resurrection in Ukrainian- this is Great day (with declination, the stress does not change - Great day, with Great day).


The name "Easter" is rather historical: earlier it meant both the Jewish holiday Pesach and the Christian one itself. At one time, both words, Easter and Great Day (Easter is older), were used in parallel, but now linguists recommend saying Great Day.

But if you call the holiday "Easter", it won't be a big mistake: this Hebrew word came to us in transit through Greek into Old Church Slavonic. Thus, we speak and write "Easter" and "Great", but we give preference to the second.

If we speak Ukrainian about festive food, we should remember that both pastry and cottage cheese products are called "pasks" (in the plural - "pasks"). None"kulichєy" is not in Ukrainian!

And one more thing: accents. Normative - Great day, great day and krashanka, krashanki, krashanok, krashankAm.

As a conclusion


Ukrainian and Russian are languages ​​that are similar in many ways. But you should try to speak correctly. If you move in dialogue from language to language, adhere to the rules and traditions of the language you are currently speaking.

Savory pasok, delicious Easter and Easter cakes!

Or - Easter, as many say? What exactly is cooked and eaten on this holiday?

Let's start with the fact that Easter most often means not the usual muffin with sugar icing, but a cottage cheese dessert. Easter muffin is Easter cake. And it is he who is called "paska". A certain confusion in all these terms was initially introduced by the Russian translation of the Great Day holiday (in Russian - Easter). As a result, "Easter" acquired two meanings - a holiday and food, although ideally Easter cake should be called simply Paska, and Easter itself - curd or cheese paska.

Now let's make a comparison between Easter and Easter cake


Firstly, Easter is a curd product, and Easter cake is bread.
Secondly, they have a different shape. Easter has the shape of a pyramid with a cut off top. It symbolizes the Holy Sepulcher. The classic shape of the Easter cake is a tall cylinder.
Thirdly, the unequal way of preparation. Easter can be either raw or boiled. And the Easter cake is sure to be baked.
Fourthly, Easter is prepared for several days, and Easter cake - 10-12 hours.
And, fifthly, Easter cake lasts much longer than cottage cheese Easter. Especially short-term is that Easter, which is not amenable to heat treatment. In addition, it must be taken into account that raw cottage cheese Easter turns sour very quickly from raisins.
