One of the Easter traditions is the blessing of food.

Before Easter (or after the end of the night Easter service), many believers come to church to bless Easter cakes, eggs and other food.

Some people find it necessary to bless not only food, but also certain things.

But you need to understand that not everything is suitable for consecration.

In addition, it is worth blessing lard, meat products, dairy products, salt and plain water.

As for things, you can bring candles and a towel to the ceremony.

What can't be blessed on Easter

Don't put blood sausage in your Easter basket - it's a bad idea.

And there shouldn't be any bottles of alcoholic drinks there either. The only exception is Cahors.

There is no need to bless banknotes and jewelry for the holiday. During this period, it is better to think about the spiritual, not the material.

It is not a good idea to bless sharp objects. You should definitely not bring a kitchen knife to the temple.

Earlier it became known how many eggs can be eaten at Easter .
