Great Thursday, a day of reflection and spiritual preparation for the Resurrection, is marked by traditions and popular customs.

Maundy Thursday is an essential day in Holy Week, dedicated to reflection on the passions of Christ and spiritual preparation for the Resurrection. On this day, the church bells cease to ring, and the faithful participate in the Service of the 12 Gospels, lighting candles that symbolize divine protection. Tradition says that on Maundy Thursday 'the heavens open', favoring the closeness between people and divinity, and the silence of the bells encourages inner peace. Alongside its religious significance, housewives begin the general cleaning, preparing the home for the holiday, according to the legend of Maundy Thursday. The preparation of the pasca, the dyed eggs with natural dyes, and the cozonac is a symbolic ritual, each food having a profound meaning. These traditions are meant to bring abundance and strengthen the spiritual bond of the family with the celebration of the resurrection.
