Chrystos Voskrese!

Apr 08, 2007 12:06

It is finally Easter and Helen's weeks of preparations have paid off. The kitchen is filled with food for anyone who wants it and Helen is walking around the mansion delivering eggs. Everyone she meets is greeted with a happy "Chrystos Voskrese!" It means "Christ is risen!" in Ukrainian and she isn't expecting anyone to know to say "Voistinnu Voskrese!" ("Indeed he is risen!") in return, but she says it anyway. She has a long list of people to be recieving eggs. She has one for Jackrabbit, Mad Sweeney, Murata, Horatio, O'Leary, Rosalind, Dakkar, Curio, Percy, Alcuin, Easter, Draco, and Michael. It is also tradition for the pysanky to be placed on the graves and in the coffins of the dead, so there has been an egg deposited with each of the mansion's three corpses. One next to Sirius Black, one next to Prince Paul, and one next to Richard Carstone. But there are many more eggs and she would be happy to give them to anyone who asks.
