He has risen! Christ Has Risen! He lives!
My dad would say Christ has Risen, in Slovak, on Easter Morning and greet everyone with that when they came to our house on Easter Day. (Kristus vstal z mŕtvych)
Oh, the sweet memories of Easter Morning… My mother would have the meal prepared and she would keep it warm in the oven. But first, we went to church…
Mother made my outfit and my sister’s as well. White patent leather shoes, my sweet little dress and a special Easter Bonnet. And of course… I had little white, lace gloves! We would sit in church and sing the best hymns ever… but “In The Garden” was my favorite. Here is a You Tube Video singing my favorite hymn…I just love it!
After Church Mom would put out the spread… we would eat like Kings! My favorite part of Easter was the Paska Bread. I made some for our Easter Feast today.
It’s a sweet, dense bread. It’s delicious right out of the oven or toasted the next morning. Plain with butter or decadent with jam.
After our early dinner we would set out and look for our Easter basket. My Easter Basket today looks more like this…
Our table is set and ready for friends to come over…
Happy Easter My Friends! Christ has Risen! He lives!
Happy Easter blessings! Your childhood memories sound so much like mine. Always a new dress, hat, gloves, and patent leather shoes. The bread looks delicious my friend. Wishing you a wonderful Easter 🌺🌸🌺 He is Risen ✝️
He lives! Easter Blessings to you as well!
Happy Easter!
And the same to you my friend!
Lovely Easter memories. I also remember the new dress, patent shoes, Easter bonnet and of course church and egg hunts.
I’m so glad We have the same sweet memories! Happy Easter my friend!
Do you remember how to say “Christ has risen!” in Slovak? Your Paska Bread looks delicious.
I will after I talk to my brother or sister… they will remind me how it’s pronounced perfectly! I had a little help from google translation when I wrote this post! Ha! Ha!
Happy Easter!
Thanks for this very interesting post, and a Happy Easter and Blessings to you,

Yes HE LIVES..These were wonderful memories if going to church with that basket to be blessed. I just love this time of the year with rebirth everywhere. God bless you two. I love you..I love you for always reminding us of our awesome childhood.
Hugs! Happy Easter!
He is risen and lives indeed! And thank you Lord. Lovely article – special memories!
I am glad you enjoyed! Happy Easter!
Yes, Nancy…the most important remembrance is …He came to save us…and died for our sins and rose again on the third day. Amen!
I love your other remembrances …they are much like mine. I always loved my little white gloves and handbag. I felt so grown up.
What wonderful traditions and unfortunately, so many of the younger generation don’t pass these traditions on. 🙁 !!! I LOVE that you make the Paska bread that your mother made. Is it a recipe to share?
Happy Easter sweet friend and enjoy your Easter celebration dinner with your friends and family.
I will have to get that recipe together and share it!
Easter Blessings to you!
Happy Easter to you and yours as well. Fond family memories, delicious food, and beautiful table decorations.:-)
Makes me happy!
