Blessing of the Food

Holy Saturday 10:00am in the church ⛪ ️ I will bless Easter Baskets 🧺 and eggs and food. This is a thousand year old tradition in Europe (especially Poland and Germany). But people just bring a sample of the food they will eat on Easter Sunday as a sign of breaking the Lenten fast!

I will say the official 5 minute blessing from the Book 📕 of Blessings and then bless each basket with holy water 💦 We will meet in the middle of the church⛪ because the sanctuary will be being decorated all day long.

So, NOW I understand the origin of the Easter Basket, thanks to Bishop Anjay!
