Easter feast

Paschal holiday meal

An Easter feast is a celebratory meal held on Easter Sunday, typically featuring lamb, ham, or other traditional dishes depending on regional customs.

The feast marks the end of Lenten fasting for Christians and gathers family for what is often the most elaborate meal of the spring season: We hosted twenty people for the Easter feast.
