St. Priscilla celebrates tradition of blessing baskets
Father Daniel Kusa, Associate Pastor, blesses Easter baskets containing food, bread, eggs, butter, wine and flowers at St. Priscilla Parish, 6949 W Addison St., on Holy Saturday April 8, 2023. In many Eastern European countries, it's a tradition to have a basket of food blessed on Holy Saturday. This Catholic ritual has been cherished for centuries and today has been adopted by people of all ethnic backgrounds who enjoy this richly symbolic custom. In Poland, for example, the blessing of the baskets is thought to date back to the 15th century or earlier. (Cynthia Flores-Mocarski/Chicago Catholic)
