All things Easter, Spring Solstice, Passover, or Ostara
Penthesilea:
Another custom came to my mind: on Gründonnerstag (Holy Thursday; literally: Green Thursday) it's traditional to eat spinach, eggs sunny-side-up and potatoes. We always did this at my parents', but my family doesn't keep this tradition.

Good Friday we have salmon. That is a tradition in my moms family and I keep that going. Potatoes, a gravy with lemon and a gravy with chopped eggs, salad and white wine. yummy! :P
Saturday it's eggs, salmon, lamb, more like a small smorgasbord,(buffé). And candy......lots and lots of candy!! ;D
Sunday we had tacos - because my daughter wanted! 8) And candy.....
Today, also a holiday in Sweden - it's tortellini. Because it's good! ::) And candy....
Tomorrow, leftover's....and NO MORE CANDY!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
CellarDweller:
If you google "Why do we eat ham at Easter" you'll find a few different sites that list a few different reasons, but they all state that the main dish to serve at Easter is lamb.
My family are not big lamb eaters. We had some ham, garlic potatos, corn and then a mix of Italian foods, spaghetti, meatballs, sausage.
Sophia:
In Sweden we have a tradition. Not very religious one. But it occurs once a year on Easter Eve. Kids dress up as Easter witches and figures. Walk around the neighbourhood, give away drawings for candy or money in return. I have done this as a kid myself and kids still do it today. Don't ask me why? Or the connection with Jesus, still a mystery to me.
Sometimes the tradition continues to be a big part of your adult life...I must say for me it was a long time ago.
