Paskha
Paskha, Pascha, Pashka, or Pasha is a festal dish made in Eastern Orthodox countries of those foods which are forbidden during the fast of Great Lent. It is made during Holy Week and then brought to church on Great Saturday to be blessed after the Paschal Vigil. The name of the dish comes from Pascha, the Eastern Orthodox celebration of Easter. Pascha is a traditional Easter dish made from tvorog, which is white, symbolizing the purity of Christ, the Paschal Lamb{{Disambiguation jkbhIn the Russian Orthodox tradition, pascha is usually molded in the form of a truncated pyramid. It is traditionally made in a wooden mould assembly called пасочница that can be taken apart for cleaning; but more modern materials, such as plastics, are used nowadays. The pascha is decorated with traditional religious symbols, such as the "Chi Ro" motif, a three-bar cross, the letters X and B, eggs, and a lance, all symbolizing Christ's Passion and Resurrection.
