Easter dishes are taken for blessings in wicker baskets and many bless their homes with holy water and fire.
A typical Easter basket in Slovenia includes “pirhi”, the decorated hard-boiled eggs, ham, horse radish, the “potica” cake, and selected local specialities. This tradition is documented well back into the 17th Century.

Yesterday, a Ukrainian and Russian woman took part in Pope Francis' Good Friday "Way of the Cross" service at the Roman Colosseum which has sparked controversy earlier this week.
The original text of the meditation the two women had written spoke of death, loss of values, rage, resignation, and reconciliation despite bombings.
On Friday night, the original text of some 200 words was replaced with two sentences: "Faced with death, silence is the most eloquent of words. Let us all pause in silent prayer and each one pray in their hearts for peace in the world".
The crowd of several thousand people then fell silent for about as long as it would have taken to read the original. Francis sat and watched the procession sitting on white chair.
Today the pope will lead an Easter Vigil Mass in the basilica.
