Pascha Baskets
At Four Evangelists, we continue the Orthodox tradition of bringing baskets of foods we have fasted from (or significant or favorite foods) to be blessed after the Paschal service. Upon arrival, please place your basket—traditionally covered and containing a candle—on the tables in the kitchen area. We will bless the food following the Paschal services and then, with great joy, share our fast-breaking meal together; if you see any visitors with basket or without, please invite them to join our celebration!
See the article How to Put Together a Traditional Pascha Basket from the Ascetic Life of Motherhood website.
