Red hill- folk name of the first Sunday after Easter.

The name "Krasnaya Gorka" is known among all Eastern Slavs. "Red", that is, beautiful, was also called Spring-red and Easter - "red holiday".

The holiday undoubtedly has ancient, pagan roots. On this day they made spell of spring ... At dawn, young people greeted the sunrise in an elevated, beautiful place.

A "round dance" was chosen, which at the first glimpse of the sun, blessing, went out to the middle of the circle and pronounced the incantation that was preserved in northeastern Russia.

In the old days, young men and women preened themselves on Krasnaya Gorka and rushed to festivities with one goal - to find a mate.

The brightest and most beautiful place for walking was chosen, which was located on a hill.

Wikipedia gives a sample of an appeal-spell pronounced on this day

"Hello, red sun! Celebrate, clear bucket!

In Moscow, the Izmailovsky Kremlin will become such a place for holding a Russian youth holiday.

The youth Russian holiday "Krasnaya Gorka", which since ancient times was considered in Russia as the day of the heyday of nature and tender feelings, will be dedicated to love and acquaintances. For this, all conditions will be created on the territory of the festival. At the holiday, young Muscovites will be able to: meet en masse (free zones of quick acquaintances "speeddating" will work for them), take pictures in cozy photo zones in the form of love nests, take part in a Russian bachelorette or bachelor party and get married with the help of fire and iron, passing the ancient ritual of the blacksmith weddings

On April 23, on Krasnaya Gorka, a youth festival of lovers will take place for the first time in Moscow. It will run all day, from 12:00 to 21:00, at the Kremlin in Izmailovo.

A speed dating zone will open at the festival. Young guys and girls will be given a few minutes to get to know each other.
