Easter Riding Foodways

Křižerjo

Festival

Nine Catholic Upper Sorbian parishes ride out on Easter Sunday in top hats and frock coats, singing, to carry the resurrection news to a neighbouring parish. The food around it is the hospitality of the receiving village and the family meal after — documented as such, with no invented dish attached.
