Getting ready for Easter

I know, Easter is long over, but I still want to share this observation with you.

People in Kyiv get ready for this very important religious day (or for the beginning of spring?) by applying a lot of (mostly) white paint on various parts of streets, sidewalks, fences and trees.

As a result, it all looks freshly cleaned.

The kids were told, that the paint contains some chemical ingredient, that keeps off unwanted insects, but this could not be verified so far.
