Blessing of the Easter Food Baskets

Holy Saturday | April 4
10 AM - 10:30 AM
Parish Hall

An age-old Slavic tradition that stems from the desire to ask God's blessing on the foods that will break the Great Fast (Lent).

There is a religious significance attached to each of the food included in the baskets: eggs (hope and resurrection); bread (Christ himself who is our true Bread of Life); sausage (God's favor and generosity); horseradish and vinegar (bitterness and suffering of Christ); and small lamb made of butter (Jesus, our Paschal Lamb).

Families with children ages 10 and under are invited to our Easter Egg Hunt, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, right after the Blessing at 10:30 AM, Pavilion behind the Lake House and Parking Lot. Registration is required.
