In the context of the spread of coronavirus infection, given that many parishioners will not have the opportunity to personally visit churches on Easter Day, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, believers who remain at home can bless the Easter cakes, Easter, eggs and other Easter meals on their own, the following way:

Before the Easter meal, you should sing the troparion of Easter “Christ is risen from the dead, / trampling down death to death, / and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!” – three times.

Then sprinkle the food with holy water (if any) with the words: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen”.
