Extracurricular event on the topic: “Easter is the holiday of the bright resurrection of Christ.”
Maria Sergeevna:
It is customary for people to christen themselves on Easter: exchange a colored egg, kiss three times and say: “Christ is risen!” - “Truly he is risen!” This custom has been around for many years. Christ gave us life, and the egg is a symbol of new life, bright, pure, a symbol of hope. Magical properties were attributed to the egg consecrated in the church: saving a house from fires, helping livestock from diseases. Our ancestors rolled colored eggs on the ground. This was believed to promote fertility.
Valeria:
The egg is also mentioned in Russian proverbs: “A dear egg for Christ’s Day” - ob - fat, lazy. “Even though a black hen sits on little white eggs” - about stern-looking people with a kind heart. “He’ll walk over eggs and won’t crush even one,” they slander the overly cautious. “Give a fool an egg; if it rolls, it breaks,” they say about an awkward lump.
Maria Sergeevna:
In addition to colored eggs, the main dish on the table was Easter cakes.
Easter cakes were baked in the shape of a cylinder. It looked like the dome of a church. We think that you already have an idea of how Easter was celebrated and how it is celebrated now. Sonya:
Praise the Lord from heaven, And sing ceaselessly! The world is filled with his miracles and unspeakable glory! Praise the Lord from heaven and glorify, people: Christ is risen! Christ is risen! And trample death forever!
Maria Sergeevna:
With this our holiday has come to an end. Congratulations on the bright holiday of Easter. We wish you good health, happiness and prosperity. Until next time.

Teacher's opening speech
— In Russia, Easter was called Great Day, Bright Day. This holiday symbolizes the victory of good over evil, life over death. Easter is a holiday dedicated to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The peasants believed that the sun shines on Easter. And many tried to watch for this moment. The children even addressed the sun with a song:
Sunshine, bucket,
Look out the window!
Sunshine, go for a ride,
Red, dress up!
Young people climbed onto the roofs to meet the sun. Easter was a very big holiday that lasted a week, and this whole week was filled with various games, entertainment, and visiting. At Easter it was customary to congratulate each other on the Resurrection of Christ. The Holy Resurrection of Christ is the most important Christian holiday. On this day, the entire Orthodox world celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. In Jerusalem, Jesus was crucified on the cross, but on the third day after death He rose from the dead.

Easter bouquet Compiled by: Rusanova Elena Viktorovna, Botova Galina Aleksandrovna, Khokhlacheva Maria Vyacheslavovna Municipal Educational Institution "Musical and Aesthetic Lyceum named after A.G. Schnittke" Engels Abstract The extracurricular event was prepared jointly with the folklore group "Krasa", the choir department, the theater studio and 3rd grade students. Boys' Choir Presenter 1: The long-awaited and long-awaited spring has come to us again; all nature, the whole world of God awakens from sleep. The sun melted the white clothes of winter, and the streams began to gurgle. Pale meadows and fields are already covered with fresh grass, and soon, wherever you look, you will see the first fragrant flowers. The birch groves will turn green, and behind them the dense forests will dress in their wonderful spring attire. And in the forest, a choir of birds that have returned to their native lands will sing their sonorous songs, glorifying God the Creator.
"Starlings": Wake up, mountains, valleys, rivers! Praise the Lord from heaven! Death has been defeated by Him forever, Wake up, you too, green forest. Snowdrop, silver lily of the valley, violet, bloom again And send up a fragrant hymn to the One whose commandment is love.
Presenter 2: In Russia, the arrival of spring is especially precious. In the spring, you and I celebrate a great church holiday - the Holy Resurrection of Christ, the Easter of the Lord. And seven days before Easter we celebrated Palm Sunday, the day on which the Lord Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem along with his disciples. He was solemnly greeted with palm branches in his hands as a king and a miracle worker. But Jesus Christ knew that in Jerusalem He would suffer for the people; will die on the Cross and be resurrected... We don’t have palm trees, and that’s why we come to church with willow branches.
Reader: In Rus', as the snow melts, there is silence in nature. The willow is the first to come to life, artless and tender. Before Easter, on Sunday, they go to church with a willow, and after the blessing of water they bring it to sprinkle it. And with songs of praise, with a shrine in their hands, they pray for blessings with repentance in their hearts.
Reader: Willow, willow, our palm tree - you look very simple! But with you we meet the coming Christ to us. That’s why every year, in the spring, we give again to the White Willow our tenderness, our affection and love. Song "Verba"
Reader: I woke up and heard spring knocking on the window! Droplets are rushing from the roof, it’s light and light everywhere! And it seems - not birds, but Angels are flying, They will announce to us that Easter is coming.
Angel: The news that people began to torment God was brought to us by rooks to the north... The coniferous thickets darkened, the quiet streams began to cry... And other news, bitterer than the first, was brought by starlings to the wilderness: Crucified on the Cross, forgiving everyone, God, our Savior, died shower.
Presenter 1: Why “Savior of our souls”?
Presenter 2: Because the Son of God gave his life for all of us. When Jesus Christ was crucified, His disciples took the Savior's body from the Cross and performed the burial ceremony, wrapped His body in a shroud and placed it in a cave. This was on Friday, and on Sunday, the third day after death, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He defeated death and gave us a new life that will never end.
Presenter 1: Holy Easter is a celebration of the victory of love over evil, life over death, it is a celebration of our hope for the general resurrection.
Presenter 2: The joy of Resurrection has poured out in a flood, Salvation for those near and far in Christ! The golden sun lit up the distance. A new song is sung without sadness.
Presenter 2: Swallows are flying from a distant land, chirping merrily, telling people: “People, wake up! Spring is coming to you, And with spring, Easter brings you joy. Joy that our Savior has risen from the grave! He gave deliverance to children and adults!” “He has risen from the dead! - the whole earth sings. “And soon He will come to earth again.” Sing, people: “Our Christ has risen!” There is salvation for people, and there is hope!”
Reader: The ringing of bells (quietly) The dozing bell woke up the fields, The sleepy land smiled at the sun. The blows rushed towards the blue skies, A voice rang loudly through the forests. The white moon disappeared behind the river, a playful wave ran loudly. The quiet valley drives away sleep, Somewhere beyond the road the ringing fades away.
“Easter Bouquet” (dramatization):
Flower Child: We are flowers from the Garden of Eden. We are all equal - a whole bunch! And we hasten to bow to Christ and bring our fragrant greetings. The rainbow has painted us with color; not sparing all the colors on us, she endowed us with such beauty that we cannot take our eyes off us. We will share beauty, we will decorate people's lives. We are going to congratulate the Risen God with a bouquet of flowers.
Lily of the valley: Dark forests glimmer in the green dress, The sky shines like the sea, the sea like the heavens. And in our garden today I noticed how a lily of the valley secretly shared Christ with a snow-white moth.
Stem: And every stalk believes: cold follows salvation. Spring is coming! Spring is coming! Nature praises Sunday!
Bell: Hearing the ringing of the bell, and the bell shook its head, he tuned in to the large bell and began to swing deftly.
Chamomile: The eyelashes of the naughty sisters are wide open, The laughing daisies, cheerful girlfriends, They are praising the miracle of miracles - Jesus Christ is risen!
Poppy: Poppies are like drops of blood that flowed from the Cross. They look among the green grass at the Risen Christ and nod their heads, pave the way for everyone who follows Christ, and decorate their heads with a fire-breathing crown.
Forget-me-not: Blue forget-me-nots are droplets of heaven. They also rejoice at the miracle and sing: “Christ is risen!”
Cornflowers: Cornflowers are running, rushing to marvel at the Resurrection, and to bow down to the risen Christ right at the feet.
Daisy: There are many, many daisies, the whole road is strewn, Everyone nods their heads, They glorify Sunday.
Primrose: I am a flower, I don’t know which one. I bloom in spring. I heard that Christ had risen and brought Him gifts: Faith, love and patience, obedience and reverence.
Presenter 2: Holy Easter is the greatest and brightest holiday for Orthodox Christians. Easter night is as silent and quiet as any other night of the year. Everyone lights candles and waits for the clergy in red vestments, with a cross, icons and church banners to leave the church in order to walk around the temple in a procession of the cross, as if to come to the sealed tomb of the Savior.
Presenter: Holy night... The temple is filled with lights. Everyone's prayer ascends to heaven.
Child: The Royal Doors are open before us. The holy fire shines from the candle... Colored eggs, Easter cakes, and Easter cakes were again placed around the church. Everyone is having fun, and the sun is playing, and we joyfully repeat to each other: Christ is risen!
Sunny: I am the clear sun! I am the red sun! I warm the earth. Happy Easter to everyone! I wish everyone happiness and treat you to an Easter egg! Here it is: big, very big!
- What's inside it? What kind of thing is this - an EGG?
Sun: The egg is a symbol of new life, pure, bright, a symbol of hope. Would you like me to tell you a small but very important secret? The mother came out of the egg from the lower part - the earth was damp. From the egg, from the top. The high vault of heaven arose, From the yolk, from the upper part, the bright sun appeared, From the white, from the upper part, a clear moon appeared. From the egg, from the motley part, the stars became in the sky!
- But why is the egg red?
Scene: The Hen and the Chicks.
The music is playing. A little chicken was singing a joyful song. The chicken sang merrily and ran along the path.
Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee!
Even the sun rises Closes his eyes in sleep To hear the chicken sing a song
Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee!
And the brother chickens also came running in bright red bows and squealed in chorus
Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee! Chick-chick! Pee-pee-pee!
The chicken dance is performed. To the music of “The Shepherd Boy,” the Hen comes out (carrying a basket of eggs)
Chicken: Ko-ko-ko! Ko-ko-ko! Here I am carrying testicles, I give them to everyone as a gift: White - very white, Round and whole.
Girl Oh, a whole basket of eggs!
Boy (looking at the eggs) How white and smooth they all are. (picks up an egg)
BOY Here I am holding a Fresh egg in my hands, and I look at it carefully and thoughtfully. No bones, no beak, no feathers, no legs. I couldn't see it in the bird's egg. How does this happen? Where can I find the answer? The bird suddenly comes out of the egg into the light.
Girl This is the miracle. God created it in such a way that he turned a raw egg into a bird. This is our guarantee of the Miracle of miracles: the Firstborn from the dead, Christ Himself has risen! He died on the cross, He loved us so much that He shed His Blood for us, sinners!
Chicken: Bright Easter is coming, people are rushing to the temple, do you hear singing from heaven? Jesus Christ has risen! (takes an egg from the boy’s hands and talks to him) You will become a red egg, and with Easter cake you will bring the good news: “Jesus Christ is Risen!”
Presenter 1: “Dear egg for Christ’s Day!” - says the Orthodox Russian people. It is impossible to imagine a Happy Holiday without a red egg. Why do we paint eggs and give them to each other? Maybe it started because a simple egg reminds us of the resurrection from the dead. A chicken lays an egg, and it looks like a pebble, as if lifeless. And there is life in it - a living chicken that is about to hatch from an egg.
Presenter 2: But it’s true, a better gift in memory of the risen Savior cannot be imagined. How simple this gift is and how dear! Easter! Christ is Risen! You listen and cannot stop listening, because neither on earth nor in heaven itself there are brighter and more joyful words!
1st child: Christ is risen! Christ is risen! The dark forest has already turned green. Christ is truly risen!
2nd child: Spring has come - the time for miracles. The spring gurgles: “Christ is risen!” 3rd child: There are no brighter words in the world: Truly Christ has risen!
4th child: The gospel is buzzing everywhere, people are pouring out of all the churches. The dawn is already looking from the heavens. Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Boys' Choir "Christ is Risen"
5th child: To the tune of Easter prayers and to the ringing of bells, spring flies to us from the farthest of the midday regions.
Presenter 1: Christ is risen!
Children: He is truly risen!
Presenter 2: God has risen and death has been defeated! This victorious message was sent by the God-resurrected spring.
Child reader 1: Tonight the darkness is defeated by a single Beam, a breath of light. The soul is kindled with love for God, and the Most Pure Mother of God is glorified.
Child reader 2: Christ is risen! The cheerful chime of spring bells and voices. Christ is risen! – The Good News sounds, And people in churches glow with hope.
Child reader 3: The moment is wonderful, events have been resurrected, Nature comes to life before our eyes. Christ is risen! – The story that lives in the hearts sounds like an immortal song.
Presenter 2: Easter! Golden angels blow trumpets from heaven. Rejoice, all Christians! Rejoice! Christ is risen!
Folk group (Easter songs)
Presenter 1: There is a tradition. Throughout Easter week you can climb the bell tower and ring the bell. In this way, the Easter sign says, you can free yourself from illness.
Teacher: Take the bells. Let's celebrate the holiday with our bell ringing! (the children have small bells that they brought for the holiday) BELLS Boys Choir “God is with us”
