Summary

Description
English: Traditional Greek Orthodox Paschal (Easter) foods, including:
  • Tsoureki (Greek: τσουρέκι), Greek Orthodox Easter sweet bread, a rich, egg-enriched, braided bread. In Byzantine times, it was the custom to bake ring-bread with a dyed red egg in the middle; the egg is a symbol of life, while red is the color of life.
  • Magiritsa (Greek: μαγειρίτσα), a Greek soup made from lamb offal, associated with the Easter (Pascha) tradition of the Greek Orthodox Church. It is made almost universally from any variety of chopped, sauteed innards, herbs and lettuce, and bound with avgolemono, the country's well-known egg-and-lemon sauce.
  • Red Easter Eggs, according to the sacred tradition among Eastern Christianity. Greeks mainly color eggs red (scarlet) to signify the blood of Christ.
