This Easter made Wang Bo really feel the madness of the believers and the grandeur of Christ's Day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Easter is not a festival on a certain day, the festival is celebrated on that day and then ended, this festival is similar to the Chinese Spring Festival, which lasts for several days.

The first is Thursday, known as "Holy Thursday", and traditionally when the day arrives, housewives wake up early to prepare red eggs and bake traditional biscuits and pastries.

Eva also baked some pastries and sweets at the right time, and Little Lori, Strong, Xiao Wang, and the Fat Cat brothers followed in her footsteps, and these little ones followed wherever she went.

There was also a little white fox who squatted next to the baking box, not going anywhere, with two big black eyes, staring at the fragrant food inside.

Eva bakes the food and puts it on a plate with a red egg.

Wang Bo asked, "Is this your tradition?" ”

Eva said, "This should be the tradition of Christians all over the world, right?" I just enjoy making snacks, which is what I used to wish for Christmas. ”

"Your Christmas wish is to make snacks?" Wang Bo asked as he ate a banana milk cake.

When the princess saw that he was eating by herself, she jumped and jumped in a hurry, and her mouth squeaked incessantly.

Wang Bo had no choice but to stuff it and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, eat, look at what kind of ball virtue you have become now?" It's also a snow fox, it's called a snowball. ”

As long as the princess has something to eat, no matter what you say, I will eat happily.

Eva grinned: "It's quite like when I was a kid, when I was in an orphanage, you know, Ukraine in the nineties was very poor, we didn't have enough to eat every day. ”

"There are a few holidays that are exceptions every year, such as Holy Thursday, where our teachers bake delicious cakes early, so I will go with my friends to help out early that day."

"Help to get an extra cake, it tastes great, the first time I ate it, I think I should be four years old, and I swore on Christmas that year that I was going to be a baker and I was going to sleep next to the oven."

Wang Bodao: "Congratulations, ma'am, you are now a very good baker, and your Christmas wish has come true." ”

Eva said, "Yes, it came true, when I was five years old, my Christmas wish was changed to be a great teacher, to treat children well, and I became a baking teacher first, God is really good to me." ”

Wang Bo didn't know much about Christianity, and while eating snacks and drinking tea, Eva introduced him to some common sense.

For example, this Holy Thursday, which he did not take seriously, was the day before the crucifixion of Jesus and the last day of Jesus' life on earth, and the famous religious event 'The Last Supper' took place on the evening of this day.

According to Ukrainian tradition, Eva said, their congregants go to churches to attend the memorial service and lay wreaths. That night, the young girls will spend the night weaving the coffin of Jesus with flowers.

"In our local customs, the flowers must come from the girl's own garden or from the nearby mountains. However, we all knew that it was too difficult to do this, so the church came to buy the flowers itself. Eva laughed.

Wang Bowaner smiled and said, "Are you fooling God and his old man?" ”

On Friday, the grand Easter parade begins.

According to religious historical records, this day in 30 C.E. when Jesus was betrayed and crucified, is known as Holy Friday.

In very traditional areas, Holy Friday is a very strict day for believers, traditional Christians are not allowed to eat oil, they are not allowed to engage in any work or activity on this day, and they are immersed in the grief of losing the Lord Jesus.

At nightfall, people gather in the church to carry out the coffin of Jesus, who is tied up, for a funeral procession.

This is the prototype of the Easter procession, and now the parade is no longer a funeral situation, and there is no need to prepare a coffin, but many people in Sunset Town still wear coffin-style hats, or DIY a small coffin in their arms.

Wang Bo was invited to participate in the parade, and at night a group of people walked down the street, either with a coffin on his head or in his arms, and he felt a lot of pressure.

After the procession, Rudy approached him and asked, "We are going to the church in Louistown tomorrow for the Resurrection Mass, will you go to it?" ”

According to tradition, on the evening of Holy Saturday, the congregants rush to the church before 12 o'clock to celebrate Mass. In the middle of the night, everyone said "Jesus is risen" and lit the candles in their hands.

Wang Bo refused, saying: "I have to sleep with my children every night, but I have too many children, so it is inconvenient to do things." ”

Rudy didn't force him to be difficult, nodded and left in understanding.

Kidd said, "Chief, you won't have to be so embarrassed when we have a church in our town. ”

"I'm not embarrassed." Wang Bo said.

The Midnight Mass on Holy Saturday had to be celebrated in the church because the congregation lit candles to light the way back for the resurrected Jesus.

And the fire that lights this candle is required, it must be a holy fire, and the fire in the church is the "holy fire", and the fire outside does not count.

This has nothing to do with Wang Bo, after the Holy Friday parade, he plans to go fishing on the lake the next day, and then spend a very leisurely weekend.

Plans don't change as quickly as they turn out, and on Saturday Eva pulls him in and asks him to accompany him to make candles.

Wang Bo knows that a lot of candles are used during Easter, and everyone held candles during the parade last night, and they will also use candles to show the way for Jesus tonight, but why make their own?

"Honey, haven't supermarkets prepared a lot of candles since the last tropical cyclone made landfall? Just go and buy the last batch, why make it yourself? ”

Eva explains, "I don't use it myself, I use it for the kids, and Mrs. Catherine and I decided to bring the kids to the party, and last weekend's Scout activity was very effective, and I think the kids enjoyed the party. ”

"For the kids, the supermarket candles are enough, right?"

"Yes, but those candles are too ordinary, I'm going to make some magic candles, you remember the magic candles, right?" Eva gestured, "I've got the ingredients ready, let's make our own." ”

Hearing that it was to make magic candles, Lao Wang became interested, and he asked, "Do you know how to do it?" ”

Eva smirked and said, "You forgot? I'm an agent, and even though I'm a civilian, I also learn a lot of information that most people don't know. ”
