Menu Plan: Bright Week
Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!
There is no fasting during the eight days of the Paschal Octave, which is both delightful and tough after fasting and abstinence during Lent. We plan on enjoying it to its fullest! Normally, we break our fast after the vigil with ma'amoul and then come home to fry up pounds and pounds of bacon and eggs. All of this was at home this year.
We do our egg hunt during Bright Week, but this year, it will only be for Mariam and Nejat. We will still be doing our bonfire and Peep s'mores, too. I went a little crazy buying Arabic cheeses for our feasting, and we will be enjoying them all week.
