1. The ,,Pasca’’ is a dessert
specific to Orthodox Christian
worship (but not only, with the
Jews having their own trap)
traditionally for Holy Thursday.
The round cake (meaning Jesus' diapers), with
sweet or salty cheese, couscous-leavened dough, with a
cross in the middle has strong spiritual meanings in
Romanian culture.
