One of the traditions around Eastern is the blessing of the Easter basket on Easter Saturday.
The idea behind it is that the people celebrate the end of the fast period.
A small basket is filled with at least an egg, bread, salt, and a polish sausage.
You can add other food that you like to eat at breakfast like sweets, ham and whatever you like.
Then the children and elder people go to the church what is always a nice sight, seeing people from all directions with their decorated baskets.
In the church a priest blesses the baskets with holy water.
Mostly there are several shifts, often every half an hour.

The tradition is that all family members start the Easter breakfast by eating
something out of the blessed basket before they continue to eat the rest of their tasteful breakfast.
