Traditional Russian khristosovanie (exchanging a triple kiss)

The Paschal greeting is an Easter custom among Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, as well as among some Catholic and Protestant Christians. Instead of "hello" or its equivalent, one is to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!", and the response is "Truly, He is Risen".

In some cultures, e.g., in Russia, it is also customary to exchange a triple kiss on the alternating cheeks after the greeting.
