Following The Resurrection Matins and Liturgy it is the tradition to have our “Pascha baskets” blessed by Father. Bring your basket to the parish hall and place a lighted candle in your basket. Once the foods are blessed, you may want to share some of your basket with those around you at the agape meal.
There are traditional foods among every Slavic group, but our guide lists foods commonly included in the Carpatho-Russian tradition. It is not necessary to include every item, nor are Pascha baskets restricted to the items listed is this guide. The general rule is to place in the basket, foods from which one has abstained during the recent Great Lent and Holy Week.
