“We believe that the symbolism of the Easter donuts must remain unchanged, regardless of external circumstances. Traditional Easter cookies have no additional symbols. In my opinion, bakery products that have a different symbolism from Christian can not be considered an Easter treat. I don’t think the consecration of such holiday products is expected, “Kupšidze said.
