I still don't get the switch to Red vestments following Matins. Do Ukrainians (not including those from the western Ukraine) make such a switch?

Not nearly as often as Muscovite practice. I know some UOC-KP priests who stay in white vestments all of Bright Week even in eastern Ukraine.

We had Easter Tuesday liturgy at my church this AM and the ACROD priests, the UOC priest and one of the OCA priests took part. It was really nice. All wore white vestments.

I asked Fr. Ilya of the OCA about the red vestments and he smiled in responses and basically said there really wasn't a good answer. The Typicon calls for 'bright' vestments and someone apparently felt that red - krasnaja- was bright and the same color as Mary Magdalene's egg. Apparently varied colors came into Slavic practice following the unions and Tsar Peter's reforms. Up to that time there were 'bright' and 'not-bright' vestments - not the rainbow field of colors we 'argue' about today!

The Ukrainian priest offered that he thought that some Greeks wore Red, but the OCA priest disagreed. I have no idea - I only grew up with white for Easter.

Actually it is a local Athonite custom as well, but not in all of the monasteries.
