Consecration of the flesh THE culinary highlight of the Easter season

The consecration of meat on Holy Saturday is a Catholic custom and marks the end of Lent, during which people abstain from eating meat. In addition to the consecrated meat, there are many other delicious delicacies in the basket. You can find out more about this custom in this blog:

Well covered with a white cloth or a particularly beautifully embroidered consecration basket blanket, the bulging baskets are usually brought to the meat consecration by the housewives and children with joy and pride. After the consecration of the meat, the whole family gathers around the kitchen table and enjoys the lovingly prepared Easter snack.

This should definitely not be missing from your "Weichfaschtl" (=wedding basket):

  • Holy meat, e.g. smoked meat, roast meat, tongue, beef, bacon
  • Holy bread (= special white bread)
  • Antlass eggs (= eggs laid by hens on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday)
  • Butter shaped as a hen or lamb or as a whole piece with a model imprint
  • Colorful Easter eggs
  • Salt for humans and animals
  • horseradish
  • Cheese and cold cuts
