Family Easter Traditions

My great-grandparents came from Poland with their twelve children.  They passed down many beloved traditions that became part of my childhood.  I now share those traditions with my GrandGirls so they will have the experiences throughout their lives.

A special tradition that I really love is the Easter basket blessing that takes place on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.  Folks bring their baskets filled with their Easter foods.  Click here for more information about this tradition.

This past Holy Saturday, I brought my GrandGirls to the Polish church for the blessing.  The Girls had planted real grass in their baskets.  Here's what they looked like: 

And, we brought favorite breads that were devoured on Easter Sunday.

Do you have any treasured traditions that you celebrate on certain holidays?  I look forward to learning about new traditions.
