In the Trebnik (service book), the cottage cheese Easter is called "thickened milky", or simply put, cottage cheese. It always has the shape of a pyramid, necessarily truncated, and symbolizes the tomb of the Lord, in which the greatest miracle happened - the Lord's Resurrection.
Easter is prepared once a year. The cottage cheese used in cooking must be only the freshest. Traditionally, to give the desired look, a special form for preparing Easter is used , the so-called pasochnitsa. It is desirable that the pasochnitsa was wooden. Easter can be cooked in two types: boiled and raw. Raw Easter can be eaten the next day, and boiled Easter can be consumed within a week after cooking.
