Christ,
our passover, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep festival,
not with the old leaven...but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth.

 Blessing
of the Family Table
Among the pious exercises connected with Easter
Sunday, mention must be made of the traditional blessing of eggs,
the symbol of life, and the blessing of the family table; this latter,
which is a daily habit in many Christian families that should be
encouraged, is particularly important on Easter Sunday: the head
of the household or some other member of the household, blesses
the festive meal with Easter water which is brought by the faithful
from the Easter Vigil. — Directory on Popular Piety and
