Polish Easter Basket, Recipes and Traditions

 

In our Church, Polish parishioners have shared this early-medieval tradition with our Anglo and Hispanic Community. After the traditional "Egg-Hunting," the priest blesses our "Święconka," meaning the blessing of the Easter Baskets.

The Baskets contain a sampling of Easter foods to be blessed on Holy Saturday for gatherings on Easter Sunday, but you can add additional items to the basket such as a good Easter Book.
The food in the Polish Easter Basket is similar to the Jewish Passover Menu. 

Prepare Polish Easter Basket :

The foods in the baskets have a symbolic meaning as follow:

Eggs - symbolize life and Christ's resurrection

Bread - symbolic of Jesus

Lamb - represents Christ

Salt - represents purification.

Horseradish - symbolic of the bitter sacrifice of Christ

Ham - symbolic of great joy and abundance

THE SWEETEST EASTER BASKET TREATS 

One excellent advice to prepare the Easter Basket for children is: 

"My favorite rule for an Easter basket is something to read, something for prayer, something to do, and something to wear. Within that rule, you can create something that fits the child’s age, interests, and your budget."

We are all connected in one way or another in faith and traditions.This year, I selected these readings to celebrate diverse traditions during Easter's Sunday: 

Compare and Contrast Eastern and Western Easter Readings:

Read: Tekla’s Easter  (1962) and Catherine’s Pascha (2015) Children's Stories.

Both books tell the story of one little girl who is celebrating Easter. 

The Eastern and Western point of view had one thing in common: 

Celebrate Easter with family and church community.
