The traditions of Catholics are a bit different. Palm Sunday (also called Palm Sunday) also begins Holy Week, the day Jesus entered Jerusalem. Parishioners come to the service with willow or palm branches (depending on the climate of the country of residence), dedicated branches will keep the home safe from misfortune.

A tradition that Christians do not have is the prohibition of baking bread all week.

Ash Wednesday is a tradition in which, during Mass, the priest sprinkles holy ashes on the heads of parishioners from the palm and willow branches that were sacred on Palm Sunday. This tradition symbolizes brokenness and repentance.

There were especially many rituals on this day, differing from country to country.

What do the components of the Easter basket symbolize:

Salt - reminds us that positive changes in society depend on the active position of Christians, because, believing people are the "salt of the earth", also salt protects the house from evil spirits.

Meat is a symbol of prosperity and joy that God gives people.

Horseradish serves to strengthen the immune system, its image has a connection with confession, after which the person becomes stronger and stronger in faith.

Water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, washing people from their sins.
Dairy products are the gifts of nature, which symbolize the sacrifice and love of God and symbolize the unity of man with nature.

Wine, the fruit that brings joy.

The main ingredients of the Easter basket are eggs - dyed eggs and Easter.

My daughter and I love this holiday very much and for us the symbol of Easter is painted eggs, chocolate eggs and Breaded Easter Eggs with sugar topping! One day I dream of spending this holiday with my man with his loving family!!
