for the Russian Orthodox is traditionally a baking day. Devout Russian Orthodox have been fasting from many things during their Great Lent lasting 50 days. Friday is typically spent at the church worshiping and Saturday morning they bring their food to church to be blessed by the priest so Thursday is the traditional baking day. One of the staples of a Russian Orthodox Easter Meal is Kulich. Kulich is a sweet yeast risen bread made with raisins, almonds and candied orange peel.The other staples are hard boiled eggs, most often colored red and Pashka which is similar to cheesecake.
