Paska (Ukrainian: пáска, romanized: páska; Georgian: პასკა, romanized: paska, literally: "Easter"; Romanian: pască; ultimately from Imperial Aramaic: פסחא, romanized: pasḥā, literally: "Passover") is a Ukrainian Easter bread. It is particularly spread in Central and Eastern Europe, and countries with cultural connections to the ancient Byzantine Empire, Eastern Orthodoxy or Eastern Catholicism. Easter breads are a traditional element in the Easter holidays of Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. It is also a common tradition amongst the Assyrian-Chaldean-Syriac diaspora. It is also eaten in countries with large immigrant populations from Central and Eastern Europe such as the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
