Summary/Abstract: For Gogol, Easter is the biggest and most important holiday. He acknowledges that both for him and for the Russian people, there has not been and will not be a more important spiritual holiday than the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Gogol also explained his love for this holiday through the very national character of the Russian, who acknowledges that Christ also came for him, that in the Russian people there is that flame of passion for Him, and that this holiday is celebrated first in Russia and only then in the rest of the world. Gogol brings to attention the special joy that the Russians experience, exclaiming aloud: Christ is risen!
