Easter is widely characterized as the holiest
day of the year on the Christian calendar.
Faith features prominently in modern
Easter celebrations, which also include some
secular traditions, particularly in families with
young children. The Easter bunny and Easter
egg hunts are not necessarily the focal point of
Easter for adult Christians, but children greatly
enjoy these traditions.
It’s customary to give young children a basket
of treats on Easter Sunday. Though storebought
treats are easy to come by, homemade
items can be even more special. This recipe
for Easter-themed “Vanilla Cupcakes” from
Lines+Angles, is sure to get a laugh out of
youngsters, who also won’t mind taking a bite
or two of these tasty treats.
