Red Hill Holiday Russia -16 May 2010


Description:
The first Sunday after Easter is known to Russians as the ‘Red Hill Holiday'. A celebration of spring, it is a time when the people of Russia welcome spring into their lands after the cold, hard winter and the first budding leaves of spring are met with singing and dancing. The day is also considered to be an extremely fortuitous day for weddings and there's always a rush on churches to ensure marriages are blessed with a little 'Red Hill' luck.
