47. Yeah, I'm pretty sure ham wasn't part of Christian practice

What the OP is talking about is, rather, cultural tradition. And ham is likely a tradition followed by people from places where pigs were more easily raised. Others have lamb, as you do. I'm not a fan of either, so the few times I've hosted an Easter dinner, we've had turkey!

What one celebrates with on Easter as far as food has no religious significance. It's family and cultural tradition, nothing more.
