This holiday brings special foods with it
這個節日帶來了特別的應景食物
American children eagerly await Easter. They look forward to the chocolate eggs and bunnies they usually receive. But Easter is more than just sweets. Other typical foods give clues to the holiday’s real meaning.
Lamb
Families usually get together for a big meal on Easter. Some eat lamb as a reminder that Christ is the Lamb of God. Years ago in America, people did not have much lamb. As a result, cooks began to use whatever meat was available that time of year. Ham became popular and is still a favorite today.
Hot Cross Buns
Originally sold in England, these sweet breads were baked to sell on Easter Sunday. A cross was cut into the top of each bun. This reminded churchgoers of Jesus and his death on the cross. Today, the crosses are often drawn with icing.
Eggs
These are often painted in brilliant colors for this special day. Eggs are part of the Easter tradition because they represent new life. This idea helps people remember that the Resurrection of Christ gives them new life.
