Happy Easter! С праздником Пасхи!

Happy Easter! 

My friends and colleagues at the university presented me with this traditional Ukrainian Easter cake, which is called кулич (kulich), which means Easter bread.  It is made with raisins and is quite delicious - вкусно!

Kulich is very popular during Easter, and stores stock up on these cakes just before the holiday.  My own supermarket had Easter cake displays all over the store.

My friends and colleagues also presented me with an Easter linen, along with a couple of candles decorated with Ukrainian designs.  I am touched by their kindness and generosity.






I would like to go to church tomorrow, as I don't think I have ever missed an Easter service in my entire life.
