An exhibition "The Greatest Sacred Holiday” timed to the Easter Day celebration runs at the National Library of Belarus (2nd floor, circular hall) from 11 April to 16 May.
The church year is a sequence of black-letter days and holidays. On weekdays people must labor, while on holidays the believer enjoys freedom and rises over daily routine to touch spiritual world.
The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates twelve most important holidays – Dominical and Our Lady’s – which are observed with a particular solemnity as a living memory of the Evangelical History.
The Greatest Orthodox Holiday – the Easter Day– stands apart from other holidays, being superior to all of them. The Easter is a special holiday, the supreme demonstration of Christ’s omnipotence, the statement of belief and the mortgage of our revival. The Easter celebration is the semantic center of not only church ceremonialism, but also all spiritual life of Christianity.
The National Library of Belarus congratulates all believers on the Easter Day and offers to readers’ attention a book exhibition “The Greatest Sacred Holiday”.
Books on the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, encyclopedias of Orthodox holidays, sources about the most known Orthodox sacred places and objects (churches and temples monasteries, wonder-working icons, sacred relics and streams) in Belarus and abroad, and books about ritual cuisine are on display.
Besides, the holiday exposition presents the author’s works of masters of people’s arts and crafts Vladislava Kohanovskaya and Inessa Kohanovskaya: needlework, embroidered towels, serviettes and icons, and hand-painted eggs and wooden jugs.
