On April 23, 2023, Thomas Sunday, popularly called “Krasnaya Gorka,” a Paschal youth evening was held in the parish hall of St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York.
At the start of the celebration, those gathered were greeted by the rector of the cathedral, Archpriest Igor Vyzhanov. The concert program was opened by the St. Nicholas Cathedral Sunday School children’s choir.
Then the hosts told the participants about the history of the celebration of Pascha. Video greetings for Pascha and words of welcome to the cathedral from Italy — Bari and Rome — and from Moscow were played.
Taking part in the event were representatives of the Russian Church Outside of Russia: St. Alexander Nevsky Church in Lakewood, New Jersey, and the “Nikodim Trio” choir of the parish of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia in Brooklyn.
Everyone took an active part in various contests, sang and danced. A Pascha-themed quest was organized for the children. Everything ended with festive refreshments.
