Are you going to be actually staying with me on Saturday night? Just wondering.
The service will start about 11pm. It lasts, normally, around three hours. First is the Resurrection service that culminates at midnight and, if we are at the right church, outdoors. Bring a jacket or sweater depending on the weather. Shoes should be very comfortable as you will be standing for 80% of it depending on what church we attend. You can be blessed at the very end of the service by going up to venerate the cross and receive a red egg. That is up to you though. You don't have to do that if you aren't comfortable with it. As for dress, most people will dress up, but be comfortable. Pants are fine if you are more comfortable in that People also usually wear light colors to the Pascha service. My girls and I will be in all white because I find the symbolism of that wonderful. The girls will most likely crash on the floor at some point during the service. I will want to.
Again, depending on what church we attend (I'm still not sure where I'm going), there may be a meal and "party" after the Litrugy is over. Yes, we pig out at 3am. Lots of meat and cheese.
