4 African rituals during Easter holidays

Family meal — Compassion

Family get-together or parties

Since the religious days of Easter always fall on a long weekend, family and loved ones are able to get together to enjoy some quality time. On Easter Sunday, families in countries like Congo, Nigeria, and Kenya enjoy a special family meal in the afternoon or evening amidst dances. This meal often consists of rice, chicken, meat and a selection of veggies. In Congo, people usually eat fufu, a staple food made from cassava or maize flour. For Ethiopians, they break their 55-day fast after church by eating injera (a type of bread) or teff pancakes, made from grass flour.
