Orthodox customs in everyday life
Most Serbs are Orthodox Christians. Many shops stay open on religious holidays. Easter (Vaskrs) is the most important holiday. The Easter greeting is "Hristos vaskrse!" and the reply is "Vaistinu vaskrse!"
Tips
- At Easter people dye eggs and play "čukanje jaja" — tapping eggs to see whose shell survives.
- Knowing these customs helps you win over your Serbian neighbours.
