Oh, Kirsi, that's just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it. It's a terrific example of the many forms of storytelling and how something in video form, even including a few family photos, can warm the heart and tell a story as layered as your god bread. 🥹
What a fabulous tradition ... to cook the god bread together and then eat it together. And a great way to tell the story by using the video to illustrate. In my family, bought hot cross buns and chocolate eggs is about as far as eating traditions go at Easter.
Thanks Lynda. I've never heard of other Italians calling this God Bread. I kind of wonder if it was some sort of translation disconnect. Most other families call it "Pizza Rustica" or "Easter Pizza" -- it is more torte or quiche like than "bread" like -- but whatever it's called, it's a special, tasty treat. :)

Thank you, Barbara. I enjoyed piecing this story together with the snapshots, both old and new. :)
You're very good at making stories relevant---Easter, Italian, Ancestors, Food---what's not to love 😉
I love this. I especially loved the candid footage and still shots of the bakers. So good.
Thank you. Short videos seem to be a great way to share a story. :)

Thanks Jane! Chocolate eggs! Mmmm… I’ve never had a hot cross bun though.
This sounds delicious and what a great family tradition. Brava on the video!
Thanks, Jill. It is a delicious seasonal treat!
Kirsi, Love this!! I've never heard of God Bread. Thanks for sharing with us and what a beautiful video!
