More Easter Celebrations

 I am liking the Russian's using the Julian Calendar!  Two Christmas's and two Easter's!!  Here is the lunch we had at the church to help celebrate.
 The chocolate candy on the left were supposed to be Home Made Reeses cups - I called them Reeses messes - and they were all consumed!
 Elder Smith opening the juice boxes - there are many delicious fruit juices available here.
 Sweet Sisters!
 Handsome Elders!
 Old Senior Couple!!  I realized there is a picture of us on Easter in Kent, Ohio when Sam was 15 - same skirt and blazer - - this is my Easter Outfit!!
Sure love these wonderful young volunteers!  I was blessed to help Sister Melton with some sewing on her new dress - love serving with these dear ladies.
Russian Easter Bread - delicious with raisins, nuts, and decorated!  Russians also have a cultural event that on the street you hear people greeting with "Christ is Risen" - and the answer is "Yes - we are blessed!" or something like that!  Course it's in Russian and my understanding is limited..
