Very Brief History of Easter
- Easter is considered a moveable feast, which basically means that it doesn’t fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars.
- Here in the United States, using the Gregorian calendar, Easter always falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April. This is based on the fact that it falls within about seven days after the astronomical full moon.
- Easter in the United States is typically celebrated with parades, easter baskets, easter bunnies and family feasts.
So obviously, any holiday that encourages eating food, is right up our alley here on Daily Dish Recipes. We absolutely love both traditional and classic Easter recipes, we love our Easter feast with our family and we cannot wait to share our Easter food finds with you!
From savory to sweet, we’ve got you covered. Looking for a side dish to serve with that ham? Got it! Looking for a non-traditional dessert to go with your non-traditional feast? Got that too! Just looking for a fun and festive treat to make with the kids or for a celebration? Yep, we have that too!
You will find a great mix of all of that right here.
