| This is a traditional Ukrainian embroidered Easter (Pascha) Basket cover. There is a tradition in the Ukrainian churches that a basket be filled with a little of each of the foods given up during Lent. This includes the traditional Easter Bread, salt, butter, horseradish, kobasa and Pysanky. It is then covered by this traditional hand made cloth and taken to church on the Pascha to be blessed by the priest. Then, after the Paschal liturgy the first food eaten to break the fast is taken from this basket and shared by the entire family. |
