Paşte la Pata Rât

Paşte a fost minunat la Dallas ieri. For you non-Ro speakers, I mean that Easter was just lovely yesterday. Here in Romania, Orthodox Easter (Paşte) is celebrated the week after Protestant/Catholic Easter. The Protestant population here, at Dallas for example, is quite small so they tend to follow the tradition of celebrating the Orthodox (or Romanian) Easter. The other one is called the Hungarian Easter.


Here's Sanda's family all dressed up for Paşte















Pretty ladies coming from church















Oh, and the underdressed anthropologist (oops!)

















If you are intersted in learning about the Orthodox Easter tradition and how it is different from the Protestant and Catholic tradition, check out Amy's blog http://summerjourney2005.blogspot.com/. She explains it all. Paşte Ferecite!
