In Poland many people prepare a traditional basket with samples of food eaten at Easter, such as sausage, white cheese, horseradish, various herbs, salt, oil, yeast cake, as well a small lamb – representing the Paschal Lamb – made of sugar, chocolate or butter, and hard boiled eggs, symbol of rebirth, dyed in many bright colors and often decorated. On Holy Saturday they take this basket to their local church to be blessed by the priest. This custom is a very important part of the Holy Week.
As a citizen of Kazimierz /Kuzmir/ I know that the Jewish high holiday of Passover is also celebrated in the spring and sometimes coincides with the catholic Lent and Easter. Based on the Jewish calendar, the date of Passover changes from year to year.

Yes, it does but this table was a part of museum exibit. At home it becomes more humble 🙂
Juz po swietach, ale tak bym chciala tego naszego cukrowego baranka
W Wielkopolsce, gdzie się urodziłam, najważniejszy zawsze był baranek z masła. Mam drewnianą formę i zawsze robiłam maślaną figurkę. W tym roku mój mąż kupił gotowego baranka w hurtowni!
Nie wiedzialam, ze istnieja baranki z masla… no widzi Pani, tyle pieknych obyczajow w Polsce. Malzonek na pewno chcial Pani sprawic przyjemnosc 😀
Na pewno zdjął ze mnie jeden z obowiazkow, bo wytworzenie takiego baranka nie jest latwe!
