Bread of the Passover (Pan de Pascua)

As we are all aware, tommorow will be Easter Sunday, or passover, if you will. This brings up an interesting question, what the heck does pascua mean? I truly desire to know the awnser. It obviously can't be Christmas if its Easter! This doubt of mine has never been resolved, however, there is a preverbial bigger fish to fry. Why is it that chileans love pan de pascua, don't they realize that it is the same thing as fruitcake, and nobody likes fruitcake. In the USA, we just regift fruitcake, 3 or 4 times before someone finally has the courage to throw it away. I believe that chileans do a similar thing by offering it continually to missionaries. By doing this, they don't actually have to waste food, but they can give it to missionaries! Then I realized that in fact, chileans love fruitcake. It is one of the most repulsive things to look at, and consume, and I am grateful that I am still not capable of loading photos from the internet to show you all, becuase it will not only dirty up by otherwise clean blog, but it will also induce vomiting.
That is my easter message, now let's all go to church tommorow, and feel uplifted.
