Scenario of the evening of Catholic Easter for adults. Scenario for events
The hall is decorated in the Russian folk style "Russian hut" (willow branches, an icon, colored eggs in a basket, Easter cakes on a tray).
Grandmother sits at the table, looks into the distance and reads a poem:
Before Easter.
I remember how before Easter,
Rolling up the sleeves to the elbow,
They scraped the house, washed off the soot,
The window sills smelled of paint.
I remember the sweet smell of vanilla
Before the image - the flame of a candle,
Walked at dusk
Sacred Easter cakes in a bright temple.
Making my way along the narrow bridges,
Through lies, streams and mud
There were old women in white kerchiefs,
Baptized on a high dome ...
A lot happened to me
Life sometimes went downhill
But I knew from childhood
“Christ will not leave me! »
(noise, din, children run in, greet their grandmother).
Grandmother: - Hello my dears, sit down.
Children: - And what are you doing, grandmother?
Grandmother: - Yes, I'm getting ready for the Easter holiday.
Children: - And we can help you, paint the eggs.
Grandmother: - Yes, of course, I will be very happy. (Children get to work, paint eggs)
Children: - Grandmother, what holiday was last Sunday?
Grandmother: - My dear! Last Sunday we went to the Temple, lit up willow branches, and today look: green leaves have already appeared on them. We celebrated a great feast - the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. In Russia, palm trees do not grow, but under the first rays of spring, willow branches are covered with a light fluff. Willow twigs serve as a sign of the victory of Jesus Christ over death, and the holiday is also called Palm Sunday.
Here we paint eggs, everyone paints at their own discretion, I want to tell you what this or that drawing means.
Red - red is the color of joy, next year joy awaits you.
Green - symbolizes spring. You will be in a spring mood all year long.
Variegated - from freckles.
With pine - from the disease. You be healthy.
With yellow ears - for the harvest.
With a house - for a housewarming party.
With an oak leaf - you will be strong.
With a bunny - be brave.
With an angel - for good. The whole year will be accompanied by good.
With a star - be good and obedient to you.
With the Temple - you will be protected from any trouble.
With a bird - to be your songstress.

Grandmother: - So we found out what awaits you next year.

Dasha reads a verse:
Singer, little bird
I drew on the testicle
A bird chirps to us from heaven:
« »

BRIGHT RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
One of the children reads the verse:
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
The sun is shining from heaven!
The dark forest has turned green
Christ is truly risen!
Spring has come - it's time for miracles,
The spring murmurs - Christ is risen!
There are no words brighter in the world -
"Truly, Christ is risen!"
Dear Guys! Today we celebrate the day of the Holy Resurrection of Christ. Easter is considered the main Christian holiday, the reason for which was the saving suffering and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Guys, do you know what the word "Easter" means? The word comes from the Hebrew - "transition".
The week before Easter is called Passion Week. Maundy Thursday commemorates the last communion. On Friday, Christ was crucified on the cross, his body was placed in a cave. On Great Saturday, the Holy Fire descended on the Holy Sepulcher, signifying the Resurrection of Christ. On the third day, at night, Jesus Christ came to life. The angel of the Lord commanded to tell all the disciples about this.
In the old days, on Easter, people organized festivities, games, danced round the yards, which resembled Christmas caroling.
They also played hide-and-seek on Easter. One of the adults went out into the garden in the morning with gifts and hid them. Waking up, the children ran to look. Do you want to play? Gifts are hidden in the room. Who will find more? Started!
Bells rang throughout the village, because on a holiday everyone could ring them. The children loved to sing the song:
sun, bucket,
Look out the window!
Sunshine, take a ride
Red dress up!
Swings were set up in the square. The guys rocked the girls until they called the name of their fiancé. At this time, swing refrains were sung:
On holy week
Have fun with the swings
First you swing
Then you get married.
In a day Happy Easter it was supposed to treat everyone they met with eggs and greet them with the words "Christ is Risen!", in response it is customary to give a treat and say "Truly Risen!" The people believed that within 40 days from Easter to Ascension, Christ himself descends to earth and walks through the cities. People gave food to the poor, because one of them could be Jesus himself.
The egg is considered a symbol of new life, rebirth. According to legend, St. Mary Magdalene presented the first Easter egg to the Roman emperor, the egg turned bright red, confirming the good news. Red is the color of the blood of Christ.
Also on Easter it is customary to "beat with eggs", to hit the opponent's egg with a blunt or sharp end of a boiled painted egg. The winner is the one whose egg did not crack. Shall we play?
Many traditions of celebrating Easter have been preserved in our time. On Pure Thursday, people put things in order in apartments, paint eggs, on Good Friday, houses are filled with the smell of baking Easter cakes, cottage cheese pastries. The feast itself begins with a solemn service. But the tradition of painting eggs for Easter in Rus' has long roots. There are several ways to colorize (show with an example):
Krashenki - used in the old days natural dyes: onion peel, plant juices, vegetables. Today food coloring is used.
Krapanki - first, a boiled egg is dyed, and then drops of hot wax are applied. After that, the egg is placed in the paint of a different color. Once the paint is dry, the egg is dipped in hot water. In it, the wax melts, an original pattern is formed.
Easter eggs are a whole work of folk art. Their paintings use images of plants and animals, geometric figures.
We are going to color the Easter eggs too. (Leaflets with painted eggs are handed out. The child must color them, you can draw a pattern on them or make an application.)
Easter entertainment was games with colored eggs. Let's play with you. (You can choose some games, and if the children are not very tired, then spend it all)
"Egg rolling". For skiing, I prepared a special "red" slide, which we will install on the floor. You will take turns throwing colored eggs, and the one whose egg rolls the farthest wins. If the launched egg touches the already launched eggs below, the player will take them too.
"Bowling in Russian". Prizes (sweets, chocolates, kinder surprises, small toys) are laid out around the perimeter of the table. Your task is to knock out the thing that you liked with your egg. We will take turns riding. Everyone will receive the prize that he knocks out. The game will continue until you have won all the prizes.
"Unroll the egg." Two or more players play. You need to spin your Easter egg at the same time. Whoever spins the egg longer wins. The winner will take the eggs of the losers.
Rolling eggs towards each other. Another easter egg game. Play on a smooth floor or table. Two players stand opposite each other and roll eggs towards each other. One says: "Christ is risen!", the other answers him: "Truly risen!". The eggs should collide with each other. Whoever breaks the egg loses and gives it to the winner.
So, Easter is a time of joy, a celebration of victory over death, sorrow and sadness. I wish you to keep a bright and joyful mood for a long time, may your soul be filled with love, kindness and hope.
Now let's have a tea party!

Great holiday Easter is celebrated every year by millions of people around the world. Everyone goes to visit each other, and exchange bright and beautiful eggs, delicious Easter cakes, treat everyone with traditional Easter dishes.
There are special games that in the old days were played on Easter and Easter week by boys and girls, children and adults. Let's remember them and have fun with all our hearts.
Competition 1. "Rolling Easter eggs"
The facilitator gathers two teams of five people. Each is given one Easter colored egg. A chair is placed at a distance of 4-5 meters from each team.
Each participant must carefully, without breaking the egg, roll it with his hands to the chair, go around the chair around and, returning back, pass the egg to the next team member. The team whose members roll the egg first wins.
Competition 2. "Decorate an Easter egg"
Two people participate, each of whom is given one balloon and sets of Easter stickers. In a minute, they have to decorate their ball - "egg" with stickers. The one who sticks them more than the opponent wins.
Competition 3. "Easter gifts"
Various small gifts-souvenirs are placed on the floor. Everyone who wants to participate. The facilitator gives the participant an Easter egg. You need to roll it on the floor, knocking down any gift - this is the prize.
Leading:
On Easter it was customary to sing cheerful songs and dance round dances. Now we will try to restore this tradition.
Competition 4. "Cheerful round dance"
All guests stand in a large circle, in the center of which is the host with a basket of Easter eggs. He is blindfolded. Any cheerful folk music sounds. The round dance moves clockwise, and the leader circles in place counterclockwise.
The music is suddenly turned off. The leader and the round dance stops. In front of whom the host stopped, he must complete any simple task that the host offers, and for this he receives an Easter egg.
Leading:
During the Easter holiday in Rus', bells rang in all churches. Now we will arrange a real Easter ringing.
Competition 5. "Easter ringing"
Several people are involved in the game. Everyone chooses a sheet with the name of the song proposed by the presenter, for example, “Evening Bells”, “Bell”, “Walks along the Don” or any other melodic Russian folk songs.
It is necessary not to sing the selected song, but to portray the bell ringing, saying instead of the words “Bom-bom-bom” or “Ding-ding-ding”. The one who more accurately performs the motive and makes it interesting and fun wins.
Leading:
Have fun from the heart
And got a little tired.
It's time for us to rest
And eat Easter food.
Eat Easter, Stretch
Help yourself to pies

There are so many of them that it is impossible to count.
Happy Easter
And I wish everyone good health.
I want to congratulate everyone
And say: "Christ is Risen!"
Scenario extracurricular activities"Easter is the feast of Christ's bright resurrection"
Goals:
Communion junior schoolchildren to the origins of Russian culture,
fostering love for the culture of their people, their traditions, customs, rituals.
Preliminary preparation: for the holiday, children draw Easter cakes, paint eggs, learn poems. The class is designed to look like a Russian hut: a samovar, embroideries, homespun paths, etc. On the table - painted eggs, Easter cakes, cookies in the form of birds. On the stand - drawings of children. Phonogram with a recording of the bell ringing.
Children and their parents take part in the celebration.
The course of the holiday
Host: Easter is the feast of Christ's bright resurrection, which is celebrated with joy and triumph.
Children come out in Russian costumes.
1st child.
There are many rituals in Rus'.
And today is the feast of God:
Easter - God's resurrection
His second birthday.
2nd child.
Everywhere the blessing is buzzing
From all the churches people bring down.
The dawn is already looking from heaven ...
3rd child.
The cover of snow has already been removed from the fields,
And hands are torn from shackles,
And the nearby forest is greener ...
Children: Christ is Risen! Christ is risen!
4th child.
The earth is waking up
And the fields dress
Spring is coming full of wonders!
Children: Christ is Risen! Christ is risen!
Host: Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the most important holiday in the Christian calendar. You, of course, know the custom of exchanging colored eggs on Easter and christening three times. Someone hands you an egg and says: “Christ is Risen!”, and you answer: “Truly Risen!”. You swap eggs and kiss three times. At the same time, people forgive each other all insults, misunderstandings, and maybe even anger. How could it be otherwise, because this is the joyful day of the Resurrection. Let's get christened with you.
Children exchange eggs and kiss three times
Host: And now, dear parents and children, try to answer the following questions.
What was Easter called in Rus'? (Great day, King's day, Christ's day, Bright Sunday)
What is the last week before Easter called? (Passionate or Great, dedicated to the suffering of Jesus Christ)
How did the tradition of dyeing eggs begin? (After the ascension, Jesus ordered the disciples to go around the world and preach their doctrine to the people. Mary also went to preach the doctrine of Christ. She came to Rome, to the imperial palace. In those distant times, everyone who came to the emperor always brought some gift: the rich - jewelry, and the poor - what they could. Mary had nothing with her except faith in Christ. She handed the emperor a simple chicken egg and immediately loudly pronounced the main news: "Christ is risen!". The emperor was surprised and said: "How can you believe that It's hard to believe that anyone can rise from the dead, just as it's hard to believe that this white egg can turn red!" - red. So the first Easter egg was presented).
What did they do during the great week to remove sins from the soul? (They did charity work.)
Leading: Easter was also timed for the “walking of the drawers”. From all over the village people gathered in a crowd and went from house to house, stopped in front of the windows and sang songs. The songs included Easter greetings, spells for the future harvest, livestock offspring and demands for gifts: eggs, pies, wine, etc. They sang in order to beg something from the owner of the house: eggs, bacon, money, milk, white bread. the stingy owner could sound very unpleasant words:
Whoever does not give us eggs, a sheep will die,
He won't give a piece of fat - he'll kill heifers,
We were not given fat - the cow fell.
Host: Let's remember the Easter signs.
Children are given 6 cards, from which you need to collect 3 signs.
If it rains - ... (spring will be rainy)
On Easter, the sky is clear and the sun is playing - ... (for a good harvest and a red summer.)
On Easter, you can’t throw and pour out the window - ... (Christ walks under the windows)
5th child: Did you know that eggs dyed the same color were called eggs; if on a general colored background spots, stripes, specks of a different color were indicated - it was a speck. There were also pysanky - eggs painted by hand with plot or ornamental patterns.
Leading: At the exhibition of eggs, choose those that, in your opinion, are krashenka, krapanki and pysanky.
Host: And now we will choose the most unusual, beautiful eggs from those that you brought from home.
6th child: Village craftsmen prepared wooden Easter eggs for Easter. The pastry shops sold chocolate and sugar eggs. And well-known jewelry firms created works of art from porcelain and crystal, gold and silver, from colored and transparent glass, from bone and stone ...
7th child: They could be the most different sizes- from large ones, in which various surprises can be hidden (for example, Faberge Easter eggs), to small testicles - they were pinned to clothes or worn on a chain. These miniature Jewelry they gave girls several years in a row: the next Easter, a new one was added to the old gift, and so gradually a whole necklace was obtained from multi-colored holiday eggs hung on a chain.
Leading: During Great Lent, all games and amusements were banned, and from Easter, fun entertainment for young people began. The festivities were held outdoors. Many spring games and fun in Rus' were associated with the holidays. So from Easter they began to swing on a swing, festivities opened with fun games, round dances, game round dances, dance songs. One of the most widespread and favorite Easter entertainments was skating krashenka. For this, special trays with a chute were made. The players sat down opposite each other at a certain distance and, on command, rolled eggs into trays. If the rolled egg hit the egg of another player and broke it, then the player took the broken egg for himself. These games can still be played today.
Game "Twist the Egg"
On command, the children simultaneously spin their dyes. Whose egg spins longer is the winner, he takes the loser's egg.
Host: And now let's play the game "Bitki"
Game "Bitki"
The players shout out: "One, two, three! My egg, get stronger! Ready for battle!" Players hit with krashenki with either side, usually sharp.Whose egg breaks, or cracks, that is the loser.
Presenter: And there was also a game where the eggs were rolled down the hill. Whose egg rolled further is the winner. He took the rest of the dyes for himself. And now we will play the game "Roll the egg with your nose"
Game "Roll the egg with your nose"
Participants must roll the egg with their nose to the designated place along the paper track. Whoever is faster wins.
Presenter: On Easter, in addition to krashenka, Easter cakes, they baked buns, gingerbread, similar to birds, they were popularly called "larks", because on this day larks really flew in from the south. Cookies in the form of birds were given away mainly to children.
There was also a rite of "setting birds free." In the morning, parents and children bought birds from catchers and immediately released them. And the catchers themselves did the same. A.S. Pushkin wrote about this custom:
In a foreign land I sacredly observe
Native custom of antiquity:
I release the bird
At the bright holiday of spring.
Host: Let's imagine that we have birds in our hands, and we release them.
Children in chorus:
Titmouse sisters,
Tap dance aunts,
Red-nosed snowmen,
Goldfinches, well done,
Sparrow thieves!
You fly freely
You live in freedom
Bring spring to us soon.
Host: I would like to recall such a beautiful tradition: on the first Easter week, everyone could practice bell ringing.
Listening to a recording of a bell ringing
Moderator: Here's another custom to think about. On all the days of Bright Week following Easter, it was necessary to do charity work (give clothes, money, food to the poor, sick people, those who are in prison). Perhaps even now in our time it is especially necessary to visit the sick, the elderly, the poor, who need to be treated to Easter cakes, to dispel their loneliness. May this merciful custom be observed even now.
8th child:

EASTER STICHER
MASHA
Where are you going?
NASTYA
We're going to church for the Easter service!
IVAN
And did you have a desire to push through the churches on Sunday?
SEMEN
So after all, Sunday is called Sunday because the Savior was resurrected on this day. Easter is the biggest event, the great Resurrection. If you don’t go to church that day, then you miss the most important thing!
MASHA
Let's go, Vanya, I like to light candles in the Church. Their lights are so warm and inviting. When I light a candle, I am always happy and sad. I even sigh.
NASTYA
This is because the candle is a small sacrifice.
MASHA
What about the big sacrifice? When do you get a lot of money?
SEMEN
And the great sacrifice is the one that the Lord brought for all the sins of the world.
IVAN
And what did he bring?
SEMEN
Himself. He died a painful death on the Cross.
He walked resignedly on a thorny path,
He met joyfully both death and shame;
The mouth that spoke the doctrine of strict truth,
They did not utter a reproach to the mocking crowd.
He walked meekly and, crucified on the cross,
He bequeathed freedom and love to the peoples;
For this sinful world, vice embraced by darkness,
His holy blood was shed for the neighbor.
And again before the eyes of three crosses ...
Here is the execution and the cry of the crowd and the executioners
And the Romans laugh and whistle whips
And the hands of the pierced Christ...
Those hands that recently healed
Who blessed the children
And bread was handed out to hungry people,
Today they were pierced and crucified.
Calvary Larisa Zuykova
IVAN
Is it worth it to be God if you get killed?
NASTYA
You talk like a human being, and a person usually loves himself more than others.
SEMEN
Here you are baptized. Wear crosses. What for?
MASHA
I have a gold cross, beautiful.
IVAN
But my grandmother makes me. He says that without a cross I will completely get out of hand.
SEMEN
And the Lord carried His cross through the whole city on his shoulders, and my Saint Simon helped him. And your holy John the Theologian and your holy Mary Magdalene stood at the Cross and mourned Christ.
MASHA
And your saint, Nastya, what did you do?
NASTYA
My saint became famous later, but my name in Greek means "resurrected".
IVAN
Perhaps we will go with you.
MASHA
Only, with candles, we will definitely go around the temple!
NASTYA
Of course let's go! And in the morning, if you don’t fall asleep, you’ll see how the sun plays, Rejoice at the Resurrection!
The sun woke up early, its beam roams the meadow.
We, leaving the temple, kiss each other three times.
We remember the commandment of the Lord again at Easter:
Consent, peace and affection, and love for our loved ones.

Though this white flour is pure,
All the same, pass it through a sieve, granddaughter!
GRANDDAUGHTER
There are many here, grandmother, various impurities,
Small lumps, specks are hidden.
GRANDMOTHER
Confession to us from sins and temptations
It cleans thoughts like a good sieve.
The repentant sinner is dearer to God,
Let creation fall to the Creator.
Let us liken our heart to oil,
All covered with deep humility.
GRANDSON
Butter and eggs, raisins, cardamom -
Generously put in Easter cake without fear ...
GRANDMOTHER
But he never rises
If there is no good leaven in it!
Our thoughts are an empty chimera,
If love is not accompanied by faith.
GRANDDAUGHTER
The dough is made with intelligence and skill,
GRANDSON
Let's finish the job with a hot oven,
GRANDMOTHER
Here is our Easter cake on a festive dish -
TOGETHER
Happy Easter to you good people!
(BOWING.) A RECORDING OF THE BELL RINGING IS SOUND, THAT IS CHANGED INTO A RANDOM BUT JOYFUL CHIMING
NASTYA
What is this?
MASHA
Whatever you want, I bet that this is Vanya calling!
NASTYA
I don’t understand anything, how did he get to the bell tower?
SEMEN
According to an old Russian custom, during the entire Easter week, any good Christian could go to the bell tower and ring the bells - in honor of the big holiday.
MASHA
So he can't.
SEMYON Your heart will tell you. Look how happy and loud he comes out.
Christ is Risen! And singing pours in a rolling wave from heaven.
Gone are the mournful worries... Holy night - Christ is Risen!
It is still dark, but the ray of the east has gilded the slumbering forest...
The brooks of the stream are flowing... Truly, Christ is Risen!
Oh this marvelous phenomenon - the holy Miracle of miracles:
Hell is destroyed by the Cross and Light of the Resurrection: Christ is Risen!
As soon as the light prevailed over the sinful darkness -
Once again it flashed like a wave: TRULY IS RISEN!

The hall is decorated with an exhibition "Easter joy" (works of children and parents). On the walls are panels "Kulich-city", "Temple", a large Easter egg, a belfry with ceramic bells. Children sit in a semicircle with their parents. The troparion is being performed.
Leading:
People call the Easter of Christ a bright holiday. Just as the sun shines and warms us, so the light of the soul and the joy of the heart come from our Savior. From heart to heart, from soul to soul, the joyful news rushes - Christ is Risen! Resurrected once to forever illuminate the world with the light of His Resurrection. We celebrate today not just memories. “The night is long and dark - swallowed up, gloomy death is hidden, Christ appears before everyone brighter than the sun. The Lord creates the unexpected out of the impossible,” says St. John Chrysostom. Heaven and earth, angels and people merge into one in bright joy. And how not to rejoice on the great and holy day of the Resurrection of Christ!

And quite recently, people went to church with willows to meet Christ joyfully, solemnly.
Two girls come out with willow branches. Read a poem by R.A. Kudasheva.
Child Reader 1:
Willows, willows, children!
All penny bundles.
Caps are visible here and there;
Boring satin earring:
The dawn is breaking
Willows, red willows
Better nowhere to be found.
Baby Reader 2:
In the evening at the church
Children with willow will go,
They will take a wax candle,
With a quiet prayer they will light;
Branches tremble with happiness,
Willows, willows, children!
Only a penny bunch ...
Willow branches are handed out to girls.
All the girls stand scattered around the hall, sing a song " Palm Sunday"with movement.
Chorus:
Palm Sunday -
The whole earth is awakening.

Leading:
Christ is Risen! - what wonderful words, in them both the victorious message of life over death, and the joy of eternal life.
Two children are reading a poem. One has a white egg in his hand, the other has a red one.
child reader 1:
Expensive testicle for Christ's day.
And I did not know for a long time: how and why?
Only the words of God He Himself revealed to me,
So that I appreciate the red testicle.
I took a fresh egg in my hand.
And I looked at him for a long time with a thought.
No bones, no beak, no feather, no legs.
I couldn't see a bird in that egg.
How does it happen, where to find the answer,
The bird suddenly comes out of the egg into the light.
Baby Reader 2:
This is the miracle that God did,
That a raw egg turned into a bird.
I understood that example, dear heart,
So the Lord once did with me.
The same power of God will gather my ashes,
And from the ashes the body will come to life again.
In this we are guaranteed, a miracle of miracles,
The firstborn from the dead, Christ Himself is Risen.
He died on the cross, so He loved us,
What for us, for sinners, He shed His blood.
And since then the testicle, red as blood,
Reminds me of His love.
Leading:
Christ is Risen! - people greet each other.
Christ is Risen! - birds echo them.
Christ is Risen! - Church bells ring.
Reader child:
"On a bright night"
It is a sin to sleep on this night;
Look out the window;
Light is everywhere, people are waiting
They will go to church soon.
At midnight the ringing will hum
Will fly to the sky
And wake up with a wave
He is heaven with earth.
It's a sin to sleep tonight
It's almost midnight... It's dark...
For those who are awake and waiting
Holy holiday goes!
Children are offered to listen to a story (read by a teacher or one of the parents.)
"The Joy of the Morning" by Valery Milovatsky.
"Joy of the Morning"
Over the city - a translucent night. At this time in St. Petersburg there are just such sensitive nights. Everybody sleeps. Only one boy does not sleep - he is waiting. His dad, a forester, left to inspect new plantings and promised to return for Easter. And the boy was waiting for him. And yet, his mother, putting him to bed, said that Easter would begin that night - and he was afraid to miss the moment when Christ would rise again. He wanted to see: the darkness would suddenly dissipate, and it would become light as day, and the angels, and the birds, and the beasts, and the whole earth would rejoice ...
Lying in bed, he listened to the silence for a long time, peered into the night sky through the window - and waited. Some rustlings, sighs, squeaks, flickers, when he closed his eyes, made him shudder. Sometimes he heard muffled blows - these were, apparently, ice floes moving along the Neva, hitting the embankment. In the corner, opposite the bed, a lamp was burning in front of the image of St. Seraphim of Sarov. This boy was encouraged and reassured. And he remembered, whether in reality, or in a dream ...
In those years when the great Pushkin lived, an unprecedented saint appeared in Russia. He greeted everyone every day with the words: “Christ is Risen, my joy!” Because he strongly believed in it and wanted all people to also believe in the Resurrection, wake up from their unbelief. In secret, he performed the feat of his life - more than once he was in the clutches of death: he died of diseases, the robbers killed him, but the Mother of God miraculously saved him, to whom he constantly prayed. Voluntarily, he subjected himself to the most difficult trials. For a thousand days and nights, praying, he knelt on a stone in the open air. And how many other unknown feats he accomplished! And God gave him a lot. Joy embraced all who came to him; others saw the radiance that radiated from his face. He was ready to console anyone, to take a liking and to say a friendly and cheerful word, so that everyone’s spirit would always be cheerful in the presence of the Lord, and not dull. For the sake of this joy, he carried a heavy cross, because "true joy is the fruit and companion of the cross." The holy elder of the Resurrection, the elder of joy, love and victory, how he loved children!
And the boy saw this luminous old man, saw the golden domes of temples. And from this radiance everything around came to life: apples blossomed, bees buzzed; even the old, half-dried ash-tree has spread its translucent leaves, like angel feathers. The boy looked at it with all his eyes - he wanted to run, hug every apple tree ...
And he would like to stay there, in this wonderful dream, but something extraordinary, jubilant with a bell ringing, picked him up, reached the depths of his soul and filled him with joy and love. It was impossible not to wake up - in order to feel and see it. It sounded, called, shone, it was full of such ringing power that I wanted to throw myself into its arms. To Him who loves and alone - the resurrected and resurrecting Jesus Christ. He was beyond sleep - then the boy realized that he was sleeping, and was afraid that he had overslept the most important thing that could not be missed. And through a dream, through closed eyelids, he felt that some special day had come - and he had to quickly jump out of his dream towards this unusual day. When he opened his eyes, the day rang, sparkled, the air itself sang: “Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen!"
"Christ is Risen!" - said the father, and they kissed. The father took his son in his arms, brought him to the window, opened it and said: “Look how everything is blooming! Here it is, the Resurrection! Yesterday, until late in the evening, I walked around a distant section of the forest. At night I returned through the forest. It was dark and creepy. Only the stars were shining. And I thought: “But on this night Christ was resurrected.” And he shouted loudly to the whole forest: “Glory to you, Lord! Glory to your Resurrection! And suddenly the dark forest sky was lit up with many colorful flashes. Rainbows shone in waves in the sky, illuminating the dark forest, as if angels from heaven answered: “Truly Risen!” and at that time you must have been sound asleep, my joy!”
The bell ringing (audio cassette) sounds, the curtain opens, behind which the "Temple" is decorated on the wall.
All children come to the "temple".
Reader child:
I quietly enter the temple with my mother,
I'm not kidding at all.
Let God see for himself
how i love him
In the radiance of the royal doors,
I will light a candle
And before the image of Christ
I whisper forgiveness.
Children sing the song "Temple".
According to tradition, children and parents go to the temple located next to the kindergarten and ring the bells.
The holiday ends with an Easter meal and Easter games.
