WHAT DOES PASHKA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Paskha

Paskha, Pascha, Pashka, or Pasha is a festal dish made in Eastern Orthodox countries which consists of food that is 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. Cheese pascha is a traditional Easter dish made from tvorog, which is white, symbolizing the purity of Christ, the Paschal Lamb, and the joy of the Resurrection. In the Russian Orthodox tradition, pascha is usually molded into the form of a truncated pyramid. Pascha is traditionally made in a wooden mold assembly called пасочница that can be taken apart for cleaning; however, 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, and the letters X and B. All of these religious decorations symbolize Christ's Passion and Resurrection.
