Tsoureki is a traditional Easter bread characterized by its braided shape, which can be either circular or elongated like a loaf. Tradition says that tsoureki should be braided in three strands - one for each aspect of the Trinity. The bread is usually made with milk, eggs, butter, and flavorings such as mahleb, orange zest, cardamom, and vanilla.

After baking, it should be moist, tender, and soft, yet chewy. It is often served with a red-dyed egg on top of it, although it can sometimes be baked together with scarlet-colored eggs, representing the blood of Christ and resurrection. Tsoureki has been prepared in Greece since ancient times, and is traditionally served at the breaking of Lent. 

Vasilopita is a Greek New Year's cake with a coin or a trinket baked inside of it. The cake is enriched with a sweet flavoring, symbolizing the sweetness and joy of life and hope that the New Year will be abundant in health and happiness. Traditionally, the cake is cut by a senior member of the family, and whoever receives the piece with a coin inside is thought to be blessed in the following year.

Each piece is cut in honor of someone or something: the first piece for Jesus Christ, the second for Virgin Mary, and the third for St. Basil, since the cake is named after him. It is believed that St. Basil wanted to give money to the poor, and in order for it not to look like charity, he asked a woman to bake a bread in which he placed several gold coins, so the poor families were pleasantly surprised when they found coins inside the bread. 

Christopsomo, meaning "Christ's Bread" in Greek, is a traditional bread made in Greece for Christmas, embodying religious significance in the Greek Orthodox tradition. Made with flour, yeast, sugar, and nuts and flavored with spices like anise and mahleb, it often includes olive oil and sometimes wine.

This bread is richly decorated with Christian symbols, such as crosses and dough shapes representing family members or aspects of their lives. The top is also often sprinkled with sesame seeds and/or adorned with nuts and even raisins. Prepared typically by the woman of the household on Christmas Eve, Christopsomo is served on Christmas Day, often blessed at church or at home.
