	Hallelujah Moment From Ukraine: Easter in Ukraine Easter is called “Paska” in Ukraine, the term also used for the Jewish Passover.

The Passover prepared the way for the exodus in the time of Moses. We Christians also use the image of the slain lamb by whose blood we are saved, and in Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Christ that brings our freedom.
