Tsvetnitsa

Tsvetnitsa is the last big church holiday before Easter.It is always on Sunday.

On this day everyone goes to  church and holds in  hands lighted up willow branches,which replace the palm branches – it is like they again meet their Saver.

Pastors lit the branches and the flowers,bring by the faithful.After worship Christians take illuminated willow branches to their homes for health and to prevent sickness and evil.Usually they are wrapped wreaths to be hung about the house or home over the altar.
