Paska

A rich, tall Easter bread traditional to Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, and other Eastern European Orthodox and Greek Catholic communities, made with eggs, butter, and sugar, and decorated with dough sculptures of crosses, flowers, and braids. Paska is blessed by a priest at the Easter Vigil and eaten at the breaking of the Lenten fast, and the name derives from 'Pesach' (Passover), reflecting the shared root of Jewish and Christian spring celebrations, with the bread's richness symbolising the abundance of the Resurrection.
