“On May 1, traditionally, at the end of the day, the president will attend an Easter service,” said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the head of state.

He did not specify which church the Russian leader would visit.

Easter in 2021 for Orthodox Christians falls on May 2.

Earlier it was reported that the blessed fire, which appears annually on the eve of Orthodox Easter in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, will be delivered to Moscow, to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior for the Patriarchal Easter night service on the evening of May 1.
