These beautiful Easter loaves come from all over the globe, each bringing their own particular spin on a celebratory spring bake.
why do we bake bread at Easter?
- Spring festivals predating Christianity often celebrated fertility and the return of life after winter. Bread baking was incorporated into these celebrations, symbolizing abundance and new beginnings. As Christianity spread, these traditions merged, with Easter bread taking on a new significance within the Christian context.
- From Hot Cross Buns to Babka, Paska, and gorgeous braided loaves, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this season!
