Radonitsa in<\/span><\/span> <\/span>the the Russian Orthodox Church is a commemoration of the departed observed on the second Tuesday of Pascha (Easter) or, in some places (in south-west Russia), on the second Monday of Pascha.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Slavs, like many ancient peoples, had a tradition of visiting family members’ graves during the springtime and feasting together with them. After their conversion to Christianity, this custom transferred into the Russian Orthodox Church as the festival of <\/span><\/span>Radonitsa<\/i><\/span><\/span>, the name of which comes from the Slavic word “radost'”, meaning “joy.” In Russia, a local name is “Krasnaya Gorka” (\u041a\u0440\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0433\u043e\u0440\u043a\u0430, “Beautiful Hill”), and has the same meaning.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year, 2025, Radonitsa fell on the 29th of April.However, eachyear, for those who work during the week and cannot attend Radonitsa on the Tuesday, 9 days after Easter, the community comes together at the Serbian Cemetery in Colma on the prior Sunday and priests from different parishes serve at the grave sites of the many Orthodox <\/span>Christians buried there.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A large panihida is served annually at the Cossack Monument with a potluck pominki at the Cossack tent. Orthodox faithful send in their \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d slips in advance (up to 10 people) with their donations, and the attending priest reads the names of the reposed at the panihida. This is not necessarily limited to Cossacks<\/span> or local people, many are sent from other cities or states to commemorate and pray for their departed family members and friends. The panihida was performed by Father Gyorgyi Kaplanov of the Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco and sung by the cathedral choir, under the direction of Vladimir Krassovsky.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year was an exceptional turnout at the Cossack tent. Nearly 100 people came together and celebrated Radonitsa with Cossack members and friends. With a large assortment of appetizers, salads, meats, cheeses, desserts and fruit, prepared by the Cossack directors, there were vodka shots and wines to spread Paschal cheer, as well as commemorate family and friends who were remembered at the panihida and pominki.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year, especially, marks the 100th anniversary of the Cossack Union, founded in Shanghai in 1925, as well as in San Francisco (initially as the All-Russian Cossack Unit, then renamed and registered as the All Cossacks<\/span> Union of San Francisco). While a big Gala Banquet is being planned for October 17 by the All Cossack Union of San Francisco at the Russian Center (<\/span><\/span><\/span>www.allcossacksunionsf.org<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>), the Cossack Board members laid a red carnation with a Russian flag ribbon on the grave sites of each of the Ataman that headed the ACU in the past. Many of the Atamans (Presidents of the Cossack Union), familiar and active community leaders, such as Kolchev, Bologoff, Mamontoff, Ponomarenko, Protopopoff, Shikaloff, Metlenko and others are buried at the Serbian cemetery. Their contribution to preserving the Cossack Union, the traditions and lasting legacy remain invaluable, as witnessed by so many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that remain dedicated to the history of their Cossack ancestors.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
