Blessing of Easter Food Baskets The blessing of Easter food baskets is an Eastern European tradition dating back to at least the 15th century. Food blessed on Holy Saturday is shared with family on Easter Sunday. A typical Eastern European Easter basket would include a variety of symbolic foods, such as meat, egg, cake, and bread. We will bless your Easter food basket on Holy Saturday, March 30, at 1p.m. in the church.
