On Sunday, the Holy Virgin Cathedral will host a Kulich Fair and Workshop, a Russian celebration in anticipation of the approaching Easter holiday.
Kulich is a kind of Easter bread, traditional in the Orthodox Christian faith. Traditionally during the Easter service, the kulich, which has been put into a basket and decorated with colourful flowers, is blessed by the priest. Leftover kulich that isn’t blessed is eaten with Paskha for dessert. Blessed kulich is eaten before breakfast each day [Wikipedia].
The fair will include children’s games, piroshki, easter bread, pascha, easter egg coloring, kulich decorating, decorated pussywillows for Palm Sunday, easter baskets and cards, soups and much more. To guarantee your child a kulich to decorate and take home, call Biba at 379-4837.
All proceeds benefit the church’s youth programs. The fair will be held in the downstairs church hall from 9:45am to 3pm at the Holy Virgin Cathedral at 6210 Geary at 26th Avenue.
