President Vladimir Putin joined worshipers at Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral for Easter services led by Russian Orthodox Church head Patriarch Kirill. The services began late Saturday and extended long into Sunday, with white-robed clerics circulating through the vast cathedral, swinging smoking censers while a choir sang and chanted.Most Western churches observed Easter on April 9, but Orthodox churches follow a different calendar.
