Orthodox Easter Baskets contain:

  • Bread (symbolic of the Body of Christ)
  • Soft cheeses (decorated with cloves and peppercorns)
  • Dried Meats and Ham (symbolizing abundance)
  • Butter that is molded into a lamb shape (symbolizing Christ’s example)
  • Salt (which is important for life)
  • Hard boiled eggs (which represent new life and Christ’s resurrection)
  • Horseradish (mixed with beets to symbolize Christ’s blood)
