History of The Mona Easter
The Easter cake is very traditional in Catalonia, Valencia and Murcia. In eighteenth century it was the gift of classic godfather to their godchildren, and the number of eggs that had the monkey corresponded age of the child until age 12. At this time, perhaps as a final number of these gifts of eggs was 13. Formerly, Easter cake was known as an Easter cake.
The monkey is a tradition that symbolizes the Lent and its withdrawal so as to be expected.
In mid-nineteenth century when the monkeys lost all its simplicity and its presentation becomes more complicated and more sophisticated.
Today is not very clear the origin of the word monkey, what if we can say is that the word comes from Munnar, which in Arabic means gift, and was and still is sponsor of the gift or Easter Sunday and Easter that the offshoot was directly collected in the house of his grandfather after the mass. The monkey served for dessert for the whole family and it was customary in some places the child reciting a verse. What
still retains the original monkeys is the egg, chocolate today, and this is due to its symbolism, the egg represents the beginning of the monkeys of life.
monkeys of today do not resemble those of a century ago, and said that if we ensure is that the Easter cake is one of the most deeply rooted traditions in our culture and the most lasted anywhere in Catalonia.
