Easter Day 2024: Traditional Easter Brunch Plans

For Christians everywhere, Easter is very important because it's a time to remember the sacrifices made by Jesus Christ. It both commemorates his resurrection from the dead and the conclusion of the 40-day somber religious fast known as Lent.

This year's Easter Sunday is on March 31st, and it's never too early—or late—to begin organizing your food. To assist you along the way, we've compiled a list of Easter brunch ideas, ranging from sweet to savory.
