@AKeen: has twice changed "Easter Bread" to "Holiday Bread", with the latest edit summary of "Pascua literally means Easter, but also is used to refer to the time between Nativity and Epiphany". I don't disagree with that, but "Pascua" does not mean "Holiday" and "Holiday" does not mean "the time between Nativity and Epiphany" - having nothing at all would be better than the inaccurate translation "Holiday". Having done a bit more searching, what I suggest is we remove the parenthetical translation altogether and add a sourced statement that "Pascua" is also used to refer to Christmas - so I've gone ahead and done that.

Pascua does not literally mean "holiday" but that contextual translation is more accurate than your previous translation of "Easter." In Spain, a better translation of "Las Pascuas" (used in the plural) is "Festivities" so that can be used instead. In this case, it is obvious that "Pascua" does not refer to Easter since this is a Christmas bread, but I can see how this is confusing to many since "Pascua" literally also translates to Easter. As long as an alternative translation is given, as is currently, I think that is sufficient. This is the link used in the Spanish language Wiki article to explain the various meanings of Pascua [1], appears to be down, but here is another link [2] - AKeen (talk) 16:37, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
