    The topic of how the Amish celebrate Easter is an interesting one. You'd think as deeply steeped in religion as they are that Easter Sunday would The Amish don't necessarily hold a special service on Easter.  Most Amish stick to their every other week church schedule and if Easter Sunday happens to fall on a "Church Sunday" then they'll have a service.  If it doesn't, they won't.   The more conservative the Amish the less "trappings" there are associated with Easter.  Secular symbols like colored eggs and the Easter Bunny may well make an appearance in more progressive Amish settlements, especially the coloring of eggs. And dishes like this Amish Easter Brunch Casserole are popular on the special day.

    A hearty morning meal is common on Easter Sunday to celebrate the day.  Especially if Easter falls on a "non church Sunday."

    A big casserole like this Amish Easter Brunch Casserole from an Amish woman in Ohio is quite common. Delicious!  Keep in mind an Amish cook making this is going to probably use eggs from her hens, homemade mozzarella, home-grown veggies, so there is a freshness factor to their casseroles that may be difficult to replicate in a "suburban kitchen."  But this is still a great recipe!
