Summary[edit]

Description
English: According to the Eastern Orthodox customs, in the night between Saturday and Easter Sunday, the attendants of the rite gather around the temple and light up wax candles, with fire taken from the Temple of Resurrection in Jerusalem, and wait for the priest to recite the chant of Christ's resurrection; a joyful event for all attendants, escorted by kisses between family members, ringing of church bells and launching of fireworks.
