Easter 2025 in Moscow! (PHOTOS)
On April 20, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates this major religious holiday, which, this year, falls on the same day as Catholics and other Christians. And, here's how the capital was decorated for Easter.
The area around the city’s main cathedral, Christ the Savior Cathedral, has been decorated especially lavishly.
Flowers and trees decorated with Easter eggs have popped up around the cathedral.
And a large egg installation with the letters ‘ХВ’ (“Христос Воскресе” – “Christ is Risen”) can be found by the entrance to the church.
On Gogolevsky Boulevard, meanwhile, you can walk through an arch of flowers and decorative eggs.
An installation in the form of an egg, abundantly decorated with flowers, has appeared on the square in front of the Northern River Terminal.
A similar art object can be seen near ‘Krasnopresnenskaya’ metro station.
Festive decorations can also be found in the subway itself, for example, at ‘Trubnaya’ station.
The main hall is decorated with more than 140 eggs painted in the Russian style.
