Orthodox Easter Colours - Pasca
Hristos a Inviat !
Paste Fericit prietenilor mei (din Romania si de pe alte meleaguri) care sarbatoresc Pastele ortodox.
He is Risen !
The pasca for the Orthodox Easter is like a round, tasty bread, signifying the promise of the resurrection of bodies and eternal life. The sweetness of the dough suggests the fulfillment of the soul that follows the effort of fasting. The Pasca is compulsorily taken to church to be consecrated. By sprinkling with wine, the Pasca becomes ritually a representation of the Savior's sacrifice.
The Pasca is many times adorned with a cross, thus including all the symbolism of the Crucifix, and on the edge are two twisted dough strips, embodying the crown of thorns of Christ.
