Second Easter

We had the pleasure of repeating "Cristos a înviat" over and over yesterday morning as we celebrated Easter at a Russian church.  (Even though it was not an Orthodox church, everyone in the country follows that calendar apparently)  One of the songs we heard there was the Russian version of  "In Christ Alone", and although I couldn't pronounce the words correctly, I loved knowing they were singing:
...There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ!

Although we didn't dye eggs again and do another egg hunt this weekend, we did have some chocolate eggs made right here in Chisinau:


And we also took this second opportunity to eat a few special Easter foods (of course!).  The traditional Paşti (Easter) bread here looks like this:


... and it was as tasty as it looks!

I also went ahead and made a not-so-traditional bread-type thing as well:

It's always a good day to celebrate our Risen Lord!
