What to keep holy for Easter: 8 must-have foods

What must be in an Easter basket?

• Easter coolieh, the so-called angelic bread, and also a symbol of eternal life.
• Eggs, they are considered symbols of new life and rebirth.

Easter eggs will not spoil even if left in the refrigerator for a long time, so don't be afraid to stain large numbers of eggs. As many eggs should be placed in the basket as there are people living in the house.

• Cheese and butter they put in a basket as gifts of nature, created from the milk with which a mother feeds her child.
• Ham (or sausage) denotes spiritual joy.
• Horseradish makes the qualities stronger, and the roots of this plant, which are very difficult to pull out, symbolize faith in the Resurrection.
• Salt personifies the connection between people and higher powers, and is considered a talisman among the people.
• Towel, whose threads are a symbol of life.

On the icon of the Annunciation in the hands of the Virgin, you can see a spindle with a thread, it was at this moment that Gabriel told Mary that she would become the mother of Jesus. Weaving represents eternity, as this process can always go on without stopping.

• Candle needed in the basket, it literally means the light that people felt after Jesus' sacrifice.
