Russia’s exciting traditions and cultures is dated back from ages. Russia has been known for its rick culture as well as its extra ordinary traditions, such as the arts, music, philosophy, dance, architect, exotic paintings. The paintings also contain billions of colors along with several other cultural heritages. Hospitality, family such as men, women and children can all give in sight on how Russian culture and traditions are played out from day to day. All around the world people of all nationality celebrates holidays such as, New Years, Christmas and other holidays which can be more personal to ones’ culture.

Cultures and traditions have a way of differentiating according to religious beliefs and even so economic status.

Russia has several cultures and tradition that may or may not be like our cultures and traditions here in the United States. Because of this, I have taken myself through a journey of cultural likes, similarities, and differences. And for once, I have come to learn that the culture in Russia, America, and other countries are really not that different if put into a well, respected moral way.

In contrary belief, the likes, similarities, and differences are really the same, even if dates are different.

Unlike any other country, Russia has a significant taste when it comes to ceremonial rituals. To start, like wedding anywhere else they are very sacred. Even so, a routine marriage application must be submitted to the proper authorities months in advance. There are no such things as proposal today and they do not marry tonight on the spot as we would do here in the U.S. (Las Vegas). Instead their applications may take up to weeks and weeks just to get approved.

In the meantime couples will have plenty of time to rethink their decisions whether they want to be with that person or not and to prepare for a joyous ceremonial or occasion.

Their styles and traditions like anywhere can vary in many ways, according to their economic background and due to their individual taste. However, if there is going to be a church ceremony, a priest will most likely perform the ceremonial vows. The couples will be expected to have marriage counseling which will be given by the priest too. There are few blackout dates for marriages performed through the church.
