Kulich[lower-alpha 1] is the Russian name for Easter bread. For the eastern Slavs, festive bread was round and tall, and dough decorations were made on top of it. The cylindrical shape of the cake is associated with the church practice of baking artos. The Paska bread tradition spread in cultures which were connected to the Byzantine Empire and is a traditional cultural part of countries with an Orthodox Christian population. It is eaten in countries like Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia and Serbia.[4][5][6] Kulich is a variant of paska Easter breads and represents not only Easter but also the spring.[7] Easter is a very important celebration in Eastern European countries, even more important than Christmas.[8]
