EASTER IN AN ARAB COUNTRY
Easter is near, just 2 days far!
All Christianity is waiting for THE HOLLY LIGHT to come down on the earth, proving that HRISTOS AROSE!
In my country, Romania, women prepare on Thursday this week, a special cake called" cozonac"

and paint boiled eggs in red, symbol of Jesus blood that was dropped in the this day thousands of years ago!

Today is GOOD FRIDAY!
People should be better, and forgive all bad what was done to them, and also they have to ask for being forgiven!
What is the tradition in your country at Easter?
How do you spend Easter here?

Pretty much the same here, Egyptian Coptics are mostly Orthodox like in Romania. We have the same tradition here about making a cake, that is rounded and have boiled eggs in the middle, you have this also in Romania, but we don't have the shape of the cozonac.

Here is Egypt, Monday morning, they eat a kind of very salted fishes, green vegetables, and the colored eggs, which I think came way back from the pharaonic era.

The only difference is that we don't drink tuica here, and I miss it :):P
