  3. Romanian painted eggs Orthodox Easter this year is 27-28th April – at the end of next week. So the next entries will be dedicated to Romanian Easter traditions you are probably not familiar with. Easter is the most important religious celebration in my country. Its traditions go beyond the Christian dogmas, to pagan rituals, myths of creations and symbols of life. I am not going to talk about the preparations in detail. I give you another gift instead: a legend and Romanian painted eggs. They say that during the Pesach (the Hebrew Passover) Virgin Mary came to see her crucified son.

  4. Easter Bunny The Easter Bunny (also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare) is a fantasy character depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the Easter Hare originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behaviour at the start of the season of Eastertide.[1] The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holiday. The custom was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau'sDe ovispaschalibus[2] (About Easter Eggs) in 1682[3] referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing Easter Eggs for the children. In many church services on Easter Sunday, a live rabbit representing the Easter Bunny, is brought into the congregation, especially for the children's message.[4]

  5. Romanian Easter Bread with Cheese Romanian Easter Bread with Cheese or pasca appears on the table with cozonac. Pasca is similar to Polish kolacz. The term "pasca" means Easter and can be confusing because it can refer to many different Eastern European breads and cheese desserts served at Easter time. The fun is in trying them all! If you can't find dry curd cheese, you might want to make your own farmers cheese from scratch.

  6. Drob Drob,[1] is a traditional Romanian dish similar to a haggis made of minced lamb's offals wrapped in caul and roasted like a meatloaf[2]· .[3] At Easter, is customary to sacrifice a lamb, so the drob de miel (lamb's drob) is served at Easter as a traditional Easter dish.
