Catholics fill it with foods that are blessed on the day before Easter, i.e., on Holy Saturday. A priest consecrates the food. They then share the food with loved ones during a celebratory breakfast on Easter Sunday. However, Easter baskets also serve as a spring decoration, emphasizing the holiday's character and marking the arrival of the floral season. Baskets used in this way are often decorated with flowers, catkins, and boxwood sprigs. What do we put in an Easter basket?

Primarily eggs, salt, cold cuts, bread, and Easter cake. You can also add horseradish and cheese. Then, decorate the basket with your chosen items and cover it with a decorative Easter napkin.
