Easter dinner

Paschal family meal

Easter dinner is the main meal shared on Easter Sunday, typically a midday or early afternoon gathering of family.

In many traditions, it centers on ham or lamb and marks the end of Lenten fasting.

We're hosting Easter dinner this year.

The meal often follows church services and may include decorated eggs or other seasonal dishes.
