Good Friday<\/strong> is a day of strict fasting and contemplation. In many Sharis villages, old customs such as washing in a stream before sunrise for health and beauty were also observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easter Sunday<\/strong> in \u0160ari\u0161 is marked by the blessing of food, which families bring to church in traditional baskets, each food having its own symbolic meaning. After returning home, a festive family lunch is held to mark the end of the fasting period and to emphasise togetherness. The day is peaceful and spiritual, with visits to loved ones and a celebration of the Resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The liveliest day, however, is Easter Monday<\/strong>. The latter belongs to the whip and the dressing gown - symbols of health and freshness. Boys with willow-wicker corbets go round the houses, whipping the girls and pouring water over them while reciting vignettes. The girls reward them with Easter eggs, ribbons or treats.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0160ari\u0161 is famous for its beautifully decorated Easter eggs. Traditionally, techniques such as waxing, scraping or gluing with straw are used. Each design has its own meaning - symbols of spring, life or protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Painting eggs is often a social event where the whole family comes together. In addition to their aesthetic value, Easter eggs have a deep symbolic meaning - they represent new life and renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Easter meals in \u0160ari\u0161 are rich, homemade and full of flavour.
