The parish of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Ukrainian Catholic Church, River Street, Olyphant, resumed its traditional Blessing of the Easter Baskets on Saturday, April 3.
				Due to the pandemic in 2020, the Blessing of the Baskets was canceled last year, but this year parishioners welcomed its return.
				The Very Rev. Nestor Iwasiw, pastor, officiated the outdoor event. Father Nestor blessed each family&rsquo;s basket, individually as the family came to the front of the Shrine of &ldquo;Our Lady of Zhyrovytsi&rdquo; and then proceeded down the center sidewalk. There were fewer parishioners and friends in attendance than usual, but still more than 75 families brought their baskets to the Blessing.
				Typical baskets contained foods the family would enjoy for Easter dinner, including ham, eggs, homemade bread, kielbasi, horseradish and other items.
