Before and during Easter Ukrainians buy or bake Easter cakes (buisquits with raisins) and hand paint eggs widely known as Pysanka. It is a very important holiday. On Easter night people go to their local church, spending the entire night in Church services!
During the day people visit relatives and closest friends and present them with Easter basket, filled with kulichi and pisanki, which are believed to posses a spiritual power. Everybody greets each other with "Christ is risen", then follows the answer "Indeed He is risen!" and exchange with triple kiss, the so-called Khrystosuvanni.
