I think it's mostly Russian churches that have the big Pascha basket blessing thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but just an impression I got. I know some Antiochian churches do it too. I would miss it terribly if we didn't have it... all the baskets lined up with the eggs and paskha and kulich and candles in the breads and all (can you tell our parish has Russian background!)
I need to figure out what I'm going to do/make for all that. Gotta get Greek egg dye. I don't like paskha and kulich all that much so I may not have them... maybe I'll try to make the Greek bread with the red egg. And I would love to learn to make avgolemono and make that at Pascha (Greek egg lemon chicken soup, that it's a tradition to have to break the fast at Pascha).
