Pascha Weekend at St. Nicholas in Philadelphia
21. April 2017 - 12:22
The faithful of St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church in Philadelphia began the Paschal weekend with a Lenten retreat for the children of the parish. For their first activity, the youth decorated the Lord's tomb under the guidance of church school teacher Kristina Randjelovic. The children then gathered to dye eggs for the parish baskets, learning the traditional way with onion peels as well as the contemporary way. The children also learned many lessons about the red eggs, and the Orthodox symbolism of red: red for the blood Christ shed for us, the egg representing both Christ's tomb and life, and the breaking of eggs on Vaskrs symbolizing shattering the gates of Hades.
