Take a look at our Easter basket

Baskets containing eggs, lamb made from sugar, salt, bread, ham, sausage (polish: kiełbasa), horseradish, pepper and Easter babka are brought to the church to be blessed on Holy Saturday. The priest sprinkles individual baskets with the holy water.

What I Wore:

I wanted to wear something casual today, so I chose my favorite pair of jeans and a brown jacket from GAP. I also wore a beautiful Gucci scarf that I got for my birthday. Since March 27 I am wearing it all the time.

Preparation for Easter

Wishing you all an Easter filled
with favorite traditions
and happy new memories,
but most of all, an Easter
that renews your faith,
uplifts your spirit,
and fills your heart with joy.

How to color Easter eggs with onion skins:

Fill a cooking pot with cold water and place the onion skins in. Add the eggs and bring to a boil (just as you would normally cook hard boiled eggs).

The color depends on what kind of onion skins you use. I like mine dark brown, that is why I have used red onion skins. You can use regular onion and have your eggs yellow.

You can use a knife to make patterns on the eggs.

Have fun!!
