意思
Traditional Easter greeting.
文化背景
The greeting is often accompanied by 'христосування' — a ritual where people clink Easter eggs together. The person whose egg doesn't crack is said to have good luck. Traditions are very strong here. You might hear the greeting for the full 40 days, and it is strictly expected even from non-religious visitors. In Canada and the US, the greeting is a way to preserve the Ukrainian language. Even those who don't speak fluent Ukrainian will know this phrase. On Ukrainian social media, 'ХВ' is used as a hashtag and a sticker. It's common to see 'Христос Воскрес! Воістину Воскрес!' in the comments of any holiday post.
The Triple Kiss
When saying this to close friends, be prepared for three kisses on the cheeks (left-right-left).
Don't say 'Hello' back
If someone says 'Христос воскрес' to you, saying 'Привіт' or 'Добрий день' is considered a sign of poor education or disrespect.
