Landowner giving the Paschal greeting to her peasants, Russia, 1890s. The Paschal greeting is an Easter tradition in some Christian churches, including the Eastern Orthodox Church. Instead of saying hello, a person greets another with the greeting Christ is Risen!. The person being greeted responds by saying Truly, He is Risen. In Russia it is also traditional to exchange a triple kiss on alternating cheeks after the greetings are exchanged. From a private collection.
