The positive temperature that prevails in April makes it possible for nature to quickly awaken from sleep. Even at night, the thermometer rarely drops below 2 degrees. Forecasts from meteorological stations show that April 2017 will burst into the capital abruptly, but at the beginning of the month, small anomalies in the form of flying snow are still possible. At the same time, already at the end of the second spring month, Muscovites will bask in the warm rays of the sun, and the daytime temperature will rise to +20 degrees Celsius.

In the middle of April temperature regime will not exceed +10+15 degrees Celsius. At the same time, a significant decrease in temperature indicators is possible at night.

The amount of precipitation will decrease, to the delight of Muscovites, but cloudy weather will occasionally bother them. Forecasters say that a cyclone of heavy rains will come to the capital, which may last for several days.

The gusts of wind will no longer be so sharp, but not warm enough to be taken with pleasure. In the northern regions of Moscow and the Moscow region, the piercing wind will create inconvenience for residents for some time, but in the central and southern regions such gusts will remain practically unnoticed.

The day is marked by the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and the beginning of his suffering on the cross. The Savior was greeted by the inhabitants of the city. They held palm branches in their hands. That is why Orthodox Christians go to Church with branches of willow, the first tree that begins to bloom in the spring. Hence the second name of the holiday - Palm Sunday. In 2017 it will be celebrated on April 9.

The Resurrection of Christ is the greatest Orthodox holiday in 2017. On this day, people joyfully greet with the words “Christ is Risen” and “Truly He is Risen.” These words carry deep faith, joy about the Risen Jesus Christ and the achievement of the victory of life over death. The holiday of Great Easter is a moving holiday; it falls on different dates each year, but is always celebrated on Sunday. This great holiday will be celebrated on April 16 in 2017.

On the Resurrection of Christ, the breaking of the fast occurs after the longest period of Lent. Easter celebrations last seven days. And the entire Easter period, forty days, until the Ascension. All this time, Christians greet each other with joy in their hearts, “Christ is Risen!” and answer with deep faith in their souls, “Truly He is Risen!”
