  1. Colorful poster. Would prefer to see the more iconic Butter Lamb on the poster as more relevant and unique to the Broadway Market/Easter tradtion rather than the commercialized and ubiquitous bunny which one can find in any mall.

  2. The pizanki look great.

    The Easter Bunny has been at the broadway since I was a little girl in the late sixties. If that isn’t tradition, I don’t know what is.

    Mass produced crappy commercial butter lambs. Nothing says tradition like that. You should make your own like my family does with homemade butter. Now that’s tradition.

  3. The Lamb with a red banner is a symbol of the risen Christ. That’s Easter.
    Butter, sugar or pastry lambs are part of our Polish expression of Easter, just a part of the deep and rich traditions that we have as Polish-American Christians. The Market has a lamb cutout that has been around for kids to take pictures in as well.

  4. High holy days at the Broadway Market. 🙂

    I remember bringing our Easter Baskets to be blessed on the roof.

  5. Easter is truly the most wonderful time of the year in B-F…everything is turned up a notch and the neighborhood has soooo much life.

  6. Mary, I’m all for making traditional foods at home, whether they be butter lambs, kielbasa, horseradish, pisanki, etc., a process which deepens the sense of togetherness and tradition more so than shopping for those foods together. At the same time, visiting the Market, where one can buy the tub butter, chopped meat, eggs and horseradish root, and run into friends is a great value as well, and helps to maintain our sense of community beyond our family life. The Market has provided cooking classes in the past. I even bought a butter lamb mold imported from Poland at the Market. The Market can serve many needs. Let’s keep these conversations going.
