About Krasnaya Gorka, the first wedding Sunday
In Russia and Ukraine the Sunday after Easter, Antipascha or Thomas Sunday, is known as Krasnaya Gorka, the Red Hill, and was the day when weddings began again after Lent and Bright Week, when the church does not marry. In the old villages the young couples ran on the hills and the matchmakers came on the day. Many weddings today are fixed for it, and the registry offices have a rush. The date follows the Orthodox Easter, which is computed by the Julian calendar.
