Before the Easter dinner is taken go to the church, consecrate a basket with meal, which will then be laid out on the table.
Usually people go to church in the morning. After mass, all are gathered together in a family circle and start a banquet.

On Easter, children and adults play with Easter eggs, so-called "Battle with eggs", they are battling as long as someone does not break an egg.
