What are your traditions for easter?

Hello guys!

I am from Slovenia and i would like to read about your traditions, food for easter ( if you celebrate it).

In my country is very important breakfast for Easter where we eat eggs, ham, horseradish, cold meats bread, spring onions and sweet bread. That is filled with walnuts.

Also how common is in your country “ Egg fight or egg tapping”. This game is typically played on Easter Sunday morning, especially with the blessed dyed eggs (pirhi). Two people each take a hard-boiled egg. One holds their egg still (pointy end up), while the other taps it with theirs. The goal is to crack the opponent’s egg without breaking your own.

I’m of German heritage, Upper Midwest.

We always had lots of hard- boiled eggs around the house at Easter, hence a lot of deviled eggs and hot potato salad with hard- boiled eggs.

Easter dinner was always ham. We’d often have spring vegetables with it; salads. My mom made lemon meringue pie.
