Easter Night

In Romania, on The Night Before Easter, all the people that are Christian gather togheter at the nearest church and listen to a specific song that talks about the renaissance of Jesus. Everybody sings along with respect for the man who died for us. After a while, the parson that leads all of the above lights up a candle and starts "Giving light" to all people. People need to prepare for this event by bringing multiple candles so you can get the light from the parson. Its a beautiful tradition that brings people togheter and unites them. When you are giving light to other people you say "Cristos a inviat" which translates to "Jesus has come back to life" When reciving light, you reply with "Adevărat a înviat!" which translates with "truly resurrected". And we say this phrases to each other for another 40 days until Jesus' crucifixion.
