In Orthodox Christianity, this is the greatest Holiday, greater and more important than even Christmas. Everyone have a birthday, and everyone will meet Death, but it was Christ who defeated Death and show that it is not the end. That's what we celebrate today.

PS: And also, by occasion, we here in Russia celebrate first man in space too. Gagarin was not religious, at least openly, but he was baptised in Orthodox Christianity in childhood and grew in faithful and traditional peasants family.
