Also known as lambropsomo, tsoureki is a sweet, brioche-like Greek Easter bread that’s braided and shaped into a circle or two long loaves. It’s typically perfumed with mahlepi, the seeds of Mediterranean wild cherries, and adorned with red-dyed eggs, which signify spring and new life, while the deep crimson hue represents the blood of Christ. The Lenten fast is traditionally broken with tsoureki, magiritsa (a lamb soup finished with avgolemono
