Easter traditions

Easter is a Christian holiday that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which took place three days after he was crucified by the Romans. The holiday concludes Lent—40 days of prayer, charity, and abstaining from meat on Fridays. Easter celebrations include attending mass, and families will often gather for a holiday feast. Traditionally, Easter dinner entrées vary between ham and lamb. Egg-forward sides such as deviled eggs make for popular Easter appetizers and vegetable dishes are common sides.
