Easter traditions

Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which took place three days after his crucifixion by the Romans. The holiday culminates in Lent – a 40-day period of prayer, charity, and abstinence from meat on Fridays. Easter celebrations include mass and families often gather for a holiday feast. Traditionally, Easter dinner entrees vary between ham or lamb. Egg-forward sides such as deviled eggs make for popular Easter appetizers, and vegetable dishes are common sides.

Easter brunch is another popular way to celebrate the holiday. Fortunately, there are thousands of egg-free, vegan recipes for creating an Easter brunch feast for everyone to enjoy.
