Making Kapsay for Easter


Its really fun to celebrate Easter in Nepal each year.  Our family traditions focus in on the meaning of the cross; celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Nepali Christians march through the city with loud music blaring and banners raised high to proclaim the victory of Jesus.  Its a fantastic sight.  Among Tibetans, we take advantage of this Christian holiday to explain the significance of the cross.  This year, we made Tibetan bread (called kapsay) in the shape of a cross as a means of explaining the relevance of Christ’s death on the cross for all peoples.
