Romanian Orthodox Easter Preparations

We’ll paint the eggs mainly red and tomorrow each member of the family will pick one egg each, say an incantation then smash the boiled eggs on their heads. Whoever’s eggs remain intact wins.
Then we’ll have a range of traditional sweet breads called Cozonac and Pasca. Main meal will consists of Tripe Soup (Ciorbă de Burtă) Stuffed Minced Meat Cabbage Rolls (Sarmale). Before the main dish we will have eggplant salad spread on toast.

Traditionally, we normally eat lamb for Easter but we might have to skip this year.
