Easter Foods | Lamb

Easter is almost here and it is time to think about the holiday tradition, complete with food and family. What does your Easter tradition include? Perhaps a special part of your Easter tradition is a special annual meal with family. Have you ever wondered about the origins some of the more traditional Easter dishes?

Lamb is often served as part of a traditional Easter meal, and this is traced all the way back to early Passover meals, when those of the Jewish faith would mark their doors with sacrificed lamb’s blood to ask God to “passover” their homes when carrying out his punishment. This tradition carried over into the Christian faith and is still eaten on this religious holiday. Christians also commonly refer to Jesus as the “Lamb of God” which may also tie the meat dish to the Easter holiday.
