Holy Week is a time for reflection, forgiveness and spiritual recollection and above all family reunion to renew our Christian faith. The chipa apo is a nice way to enjoy with our loved ones eating typical and traditional food.
Traditionally, on Holy Wednesday families in the company of friends gather around the tatakua to prepare the traditional Easter chip. There are several formulas of chipa: mestiza chipa, starch chipa, kandoi or manduvi chipa, avati chipa, andai chipa, the types and flavors depend on the region and also on the ingredients used for their preparation.
There is no better way than to crowd on Holy Wednesday to perform the traditional chipa apo, with family and friends.
