During the Orthodox Eastern,  which takes place a week after the western one, around 12 o´clock the Makedonians gathering in and around the churches. Among other things they lightning candles, unleash pigeons and congratulating each other with the phrase "Hristos voskrese" (Christ is risen), whereupon one replies "Navistina voskrese" (approx. "He really did"). After the ceremonie people are bringing the burning candles to their homes.
