Easter traditions when I was growing up was mostly
built around the religious activities. Starting at Palm Sunday. My Father
would make us a cross out of palms to wear on our coat. Stations of the
Cross and the decorating of the churches for the Visiting of the 7
churches pilgrimage where a big part of my community. We would meet all
our old friends as we walked from church to church to see how they had
decorated the altars. The street was filled with people making the
pilgrimage. The night before Easter we would put out our new Easter outfit
for the next day. My parents would hide foil wrapped candy eggs throughout
the house, the first one would be found in the toe of our slipper. And of
course there would be a basket for each of us.
Now my sisters and brother with their families all come to my Mother's
house for brunch. My Mother makes a wonderful apple pancake in the oven
and her Danish puff pastry. We bring various dishes like a cooked ham,
coffee cake, fruit salad, Delmonico potatoes, waffles, sausage, bacon, and
pitchers of juice and Mimosas. This is for those who would like the apple
pancake recipe . Happy Easter to all you wonderful people. Margo/Boston
