Soul cake

The article describes a delectable, leavened bread that takes the form of a human figure, with the option to mold it into either male or female shapes. This culinary creation was initially baked as a sacred offering, and over time, has become an integral component of local traditions across the globe. Particularly, on All Souls’ eve, which transpires on the first of November and coincides with All Saints’ day, girls go door-to-door, using song as a means to obtain these prized treats. The prevalence of distinct and varied customs, associated with these two days, is ubiquitous worldwide.
