There’s a televised
event held at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral at midnight and, if you’re in the
centre at around this time, you’ll see lots of people carrying candles home
from it. Like Christmas though, the main tradition at Easter is for
families to get together for a big home cooked meal and the city empties as
people travel back to their home towns and villages. The meal they eat consists
of rice mixed with chunks of lung, and lamb. Lamb isn’t commonly eaten here -
only on special occasions such as Easter or St George’s Day which follows soon
afterwards.
