Happy Easter with Old Postcards

I really like it when Easter falls on the same day across the Christian denominations. While I am planning to share a few memories later today, I first and foremost share the old postcards from my family archive. In one of them you can see two young people about to exchange kisses. This is a usual Orthodox Easter rite, when you and everyone you meet exchange kisses, one of you says “Christ has resurrected!“, while another replies, “Indeed He has resurrected!” This postcard belonged to my great-grandfather and appears to date back to the First World War times. The postcard on the left is German and is probably just as old.
