Christ Has Risen

T. Milyushina

The title of the box is a reference to a Russian Orthodox greeting on Easter day “Christ has risen.” The reply is “He has risen indeed.” Then people usually kiss on both cheeks three times, as seen on the left hand side of the box. The center of the box shows the church interior with a priest announcing the resurrection of Christ to the parishioners. On the right hand side, a Russian Easter meal is depicted with a traditional cake and painted eggs.
