THE culinary highlight of the Easter season - meat consecration followed by an Easter snack!

The consecration of meat on Holy Saturday is a Catholic custom and ends the Lent period during which people abstained from meat. In addition to the holy meat, there are many other delicious delicacies in the basket. Well covered with a white cloth or a particularly beautifully embroidered basket blanket, the bulging baskets are usually brought to the meat consecration by housewives and children with joy and pride. After the meat consecration, the whole family gathers at the kitchen table and enjoys the lovingly prepared Easter snack.
This should definitely not be missing from your soft faschtl (=consecration basket):
- Holy meat, e.g. smoked meat, roast meat, tongue, beef, bacon
- Holy bread (= special white bread)
- Antlass eggs (= eggs that the hens laid on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday)
- Butter shaped as a hen or lamb or as a whole piece with a model print
- colorful Easter eggs
- Salt for people and animals
- Kren
- Cheese and cold cuts
