Famous singer Danko After the appearance of the daughter, the holidays became especially preferably and realized that these days could not work. He also devotes his baby all the time: "Easter is one of the most important Orthodox holidays. I especially want to instill love and respect for her daughter. I noticed by myself when a child appears, you begin to easily approach the issue of celebrating the holidays. Especially such! Sonya perfectly knows what Easter is, with pleasure paints eggs, and every year she gets everything in an arterier. Three years ago, we began to draw small pictures, patterns, brush. I then painted a lot, and it was easy for me to explain the Sona how to keep silent and other subtleties. Now she is already doing this herself, apart part of the eggs at home and brings me as a gift, I also prepare Easter eggs for her, which she takes. We definitely see the holiday itself, I give her gifts and we arrange the "fight" eggs. I myself do not understand how this happens, but she always wins.
Last year, Sonya taught me such a trick: on a white egg it is necessary to put a leaf, flat, the egg itself wrap marley and omit into the dye. Marry must be tightened tight and tie it to not slip. Paint according to the instructions. Instead of leaves, it is possible, for example, wrapped with a construction tape (it will then be easily removed) and also put into the dye. Here you can "draw a scotch than any pattern.
While Sonya studies how to do everything beautiful and original, me, as a parent, more cares to be used as few artificial dyes. And if about the onion husk, each of us knows from childhood, I needed time to study what other natural ingredients can be painted eggs.
Birch leaves will give a yellow shade. Already boiled eggs can be gratened with beet juice, carrots. If the water add a teaspoon of vinegar and a bit of natural ingredients, there will also be interesting colors, the coloring substances here are the beets, carrots, orange zest, a walnut shell, nettle, coffee. So that the color was more saturated, hand over the eggs night in this brave, putting a saucepan in the refrigerator.
I really like that modern children have this holiday in honor and is not forgotten. Sonya and I always do so many eggs that it relates a part then to school, where they with the guys exchange and arrange the competition. And if she sees there an interesting painted egg there, then there will be a whole year to wait for the next Easter to do the same. And after all, it does not forget: take pictures, writes, looking for recipes.
All holidays we definitely celebrate together - it is extremely important for us. Last year, for some reason I had a lot of proposals for the Easter, someone even called, asked for a concert. From everything completely calmly refused and spent the day in pleasant family troubles.
In the afternoon - a trip to the museum or theater, and in the evening they are going to the whole family, friends and relatives come and we arrange a festive dinner. In addition to mandatory dishes, we prepare what each of the dinner participants loves. I love meat, and in Easter you can already begun. So with a pure heart I can afford a good steak.

Honored Artist of Russia Alena Apina Recalls that in this bright day and actions should be bright: "Easter for every Orthodox person is a great holiday!
He is waiting for him in every family, they are preparing to him. They give their thoughts, soul into harmony, no wonder before Easter is a great post. In general, the post primarily implies a refusal of negative thoughts and actions and already in the second - restrictions in food. Russian Easter is especially full of traditions and customs. Each family is especially carefully cleaned in pure Thursday, paint eggs, bake cakes, make Easter, which then illuminated in the temple. The church is satisfied with a solemn worship service, which is traditionally accomplished at night. In front of him there is a so-called procession for Easter.
There is also a belief that good deeds committed on this day take sins from the soul. I remembered one story that happened on the eve of the celebration of Easter. My girlfriend calls, wonderful and talented Katya Semenova and an agitated voice says that her neighbor wants to put his dog! And the dog is 2 years old, and since Katya unites us not only friendship, but also the love of dogs, the brothers to our smaller, to act was very quick. It turned out why the neighbor wanted to get rid of his dog faster. Wine all his undivided love. It turns out that this dog gave him his girl, and then they had a breaking, they broke up. And the dog stayed with a young man, he was seriously worried about parting and could no longer see his beloved Rottweiler Donald. The dog had to urgently pick up and to give someone in good hands. I had 2 big dogs at home at that time: Bobtail Dusya and Bernese Zennenhund Vasya, Kati's dachshunds live. At the time of the call, I was on the set and Volodya Turchinsky - a wonderful person, bright memory him - witnessed our conversation. And it turned out that they and his daughter and wife wanted to make a dog. He immediately called home, told everything. The decision was taken lightning. The dog moved to the Semal of Turchinsky. For several days, Donald lived at me at home, and at the Easter week Volodya came with his daughter and took the dog. We later converated with him. It turns out that Volodya also loved dogs very much and in his youth he had Rottweiler. So do good deeds, and not only on the Easter holiday! "
