The Romanian Easter is about celebrating Jesus Resurrection.

Comparing with Czech

feast, in Romania, celebrating Easter is all about the religious meaning. Almost all roumanian
people celebrates Easter first going to church and after that going home and celebrating with
their families.

The word for Easter in Romania is Paste, with its other form Pasti. The most
commonly known and widespread Easter tradition in Romania (just like in Czech Republic)
is painting eggs – you will find this wherever in Romania you choose to spend Easter. How
the eggs are painted will vary from one region to the other – red is the common denominator
and the traditional color (it symbolizes Jesus' blood), but in modern days Easter eggs go in
many other colors. Basically, you would boil the eggs and then place them in special egg
paint that you can buy in most supermarkets and hypermarket.

But what's specific to Romania is the tradition of painting the multi-colored eggs,
with complicated motifs which vary from region to region. They are usually sold in
traditional fairs and some can come up pretty expensive. These are empty egg shells which
are each painted manually – it's a lot of work and not everybody can do this. You can find
these painted eggs at the monasteries in Northern Romania, in Moldova, for example.

The traditional food for Easter is anything based on lamb meat. Romanians also bake
a cake with cheese, called "Pasca". The Romanian cake called “cozonac” is also baked for
this holiday (and for other holidays as well). A loaf of cozonac and a few red eggs are usually
the alms gift, a traditional give away which is believed to feed the souls of those who have
died.
