my husband is 92 and Orthodox. I am Catholic. Is there anyone there that could make a traditional Russian/czech Easter basket for my husband? I can pay on Wednesday and pick it up on Friday. My husband has a cystoscopy at the VA hospital Friday afternoon. We live in Bloomington. We can have it blessed for him here. We used to have a store here but it closed. Hard to get the ingredients.
There are several items available from our bakery. Though I am not sure how much we have that is not already sold.
PASCHA-The Easter Bread (Pron. Pa-ska.)
A sweet yeast bread rich in eggs, butter, etc. Symbolic of Christ Himself who is our True Bread. Usually round loaf baked with a golden crust decorated with a symbol indicative of Christ. Sometimes a cross (+) of dough is placed on top encircled by a plait given it a crowned efect or Greek
CHEESE – (Rusyn: Hrudka or Sirec) A custard type cheese shaped into a ball having a rather bland but sweet taste indicative of the moderation that Christians should have in all things. Also creamed cheese is placed in a small dish and both are decorated with symbols (see Pascha) out of cloves or pepper balls
BUTTER-(Rusyn: Maslo pron, ma-slo.) This favorite dairy product is often shaped into a figure of a Lamb or small cross and decorated as the cheese. This reminds us of the goodness of Christ that we should have toward all things.
HORSERADISH – (Rusyn: Chrin pron. khrin) Horseradish mixed with grated red beets (optional) symbolizes the Passion of Christ still in our minds but sweetened with some sugar because of the Resurrection. A bitter-sweet red colored mixture reminds us of the suferings of Christ.
