In our church is a traditions, shared from our Polish parishioners, to bless the Easter Baskets. This early-medieval tradition is called "Święconka,"
The Baskets can contain a sampling of Easter foods to be blessed on Holy Saturday for gatherings on Easter Sunday. In some countries, the food in the Polish Easter Basket is similar to the Jewish Passover Menu, but you can add additional items to the basket such as a good Easter Book.
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

One excellent advice to prepare the Easter Basket for children is:
Have something to read, to eat, to drink and some games to have fun.

Activity for kids
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:
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.
