The
Jews consume the matsa for centuries during eight days on Pessah,
as a symbol of the liberty and as a reminder the Exodus from Egypt;
it resembles the lagana, a Christian unleavened bread eaten only
on a special day (Clean Monday). Other 'festive' Jewish and Christian
breads are the Shavouot and Pourim's breads and the Easter bread-like
dollies (koutsounes). Wheat is used in symbolic foods, like the
boiled wheat offered at the Christian memorial services and the
astari of the Jewish New Year.
