The Tradition of the Easter Nuns
Easter Monday is approaching and the windows of Sant Feliu’s pastry shops are preparing for a festivity full of tradition and sweets. Easter bunnies, a classic gift from the godfather or godmother to the godchild, have become an indispensable part of Easter celebrations. This cake, originally made from a sweet brioche and decorated with hard-boiled eggs, has seen a significant evolution in recent years.
The Evolution of Monks
The introduction of chocolate in Easter cakes has transformed this tradition. Chocolate dolls, whether in the form of eggs, figures or structures, have become market favorites. This change has been so significant that now, many Easter sweets are made entirely of chocolate, offering a variety of shapes and flavors that captivate the attention of consumers.
Current Trends
In research carried out in different establishments in Sant Feliu, it has been found that traditional dolls remain popular, although there has been an increase in demand for chocolate dolls, especially those with drawings of characters such as Pokémon and Dragon Ball. In addition, manga and anime character dolls Dragon Ball have been a revelation this year, as well as Bluey the dog dolls, which have experienced a notable increase in sales.
Preferences of Santfeliuencs
In a survey among Sant Feliuencs, it has been revealed that while some people have switched to chocolate monas for their novelty and diversity, others continue to prefer traditional monas, making special mention of butter monas with chocolate eggs. In addition, some citizens choose to make their own homemade coins, highlighting the flexibility and economy that this entails.
Diversity of Preferences
The preferences of the people of Sant Feliuen vary from Barça football dolls to chocolate figures such as large eggs, chickens or chicks to share. This diversity reflects the wealth of choices available and the ability of consumers to choose dolls that fit their tastes and family traditions.
