BRING YOUR EASTER FOOD TO BE BLESSED
Holy Saturday, April 23 at 9.30 am
We invite you to participate in this brief blessing, traditional on Holy Saturday. Bring your basket, which may be lined with linens, and is filled with a selection of foods to be eaten at your Easter celebration. Among these may be: hardboiled eggs, a symbol of new life; salt, a symbol of prosperity; pepper, horseradish or vinegar, in remembrance of our Lord’s passion; butter in the shape of a lamb, which portrays Christ’s sacrifice as victory; bread or babka, symbolizing the Eucharistic meal; and wine, to remind us of Jesus’ blood shed for us and the Communion cup.
Feel free to add or substitute foods of your own.
