By the will of God or a simple coincidence the Holly day of the Easter clashed with the International day of Labour in this sunny day of Sunday, May,1. I guess that many will go first to the church to baptize their Easter cake and red eggs and would have their holly meal with their family (Easter tradition) early in the morning and than go to the forest for a shashlik or barbecue with their friends (Labour day tradition) later in the afternoon or next day.

"Christ has arisen! and Happy Labour Day, comrades" :)))
