I hope you had a great Easter celebration.
My sister and I visited with my niece and her family. We had a nice ham and scalloped potato dinner with salad and aspargus.
We wondered why ham is a tradition for Easter meals.
The Encyclopedia of Religion says:
Among Easter foods, the most significant is the Easter lamb, which is in many places the main dish of the Easter Sunday meal. Corresponding to the Passover lamb and to Christ, the Lamb of God, this dish has become a central symbol of Easter. Also popular among European and Americans on Easter is ham, because the pig was considered a symbol of luck in pre-Christian Europe.
We also enjoyed a nice spring day. I'm so happy spring is here at last, beginning with a great Easter celebration.
