The Easter Kiss: A Heartwarming Moment of Family and Faith During Easter Week in Russia, 1854 This evocative engraving, titled 'The Easter Kiss: Easter week in Russia, 1854,' captures a tender moment of family and faith during the Easter celebrations in Russia during the mid-19th century. The image, published in Cassells Illustrated Family Paper, London Weekly, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Russian people during the time of the Crimean War. In the foreground, a father, dressed in a military uniform, lifts his young son onto his shoulders, while the boy reaches up to kiss his father's cheek. The father's comrades, also in military uniform, look on approvingly, their own faces expressing a mix of admiration and affection for the bond between father and son. The scene takes place in a rural setting, with trees and foliage in the background, suggesting the idyllic countryside. The Easter holiday holds deep religious significance for the Russian Orthodox Church, and the image reflects the importance of family and faith during this time. The father's military uniform serves as a reminder of the ongoing Crimean War, which began in 1853 and lasted until 1856. Despite the hardships of war, the image conveys a sense of hope and joy, highlighting the enduring strength of family bonds. The engraving is a poignant reminder of the human experience during a time of conflict and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and values of Russia during the 19th century.
