Several parishes in the Archdiocese of Louisville participated in a traditional blessing of Easter baskets on Holy Saturday. St. Margaret Mary Church, 7813 Shelbyville Road, and Epiphany Church, 914 Old Harrods Creek Road, were among the parishes that hosted a blessing. Several parish families brought their baskets — filled with bread, eggs, meat, cheese and beer/wine to be served on Easter Sunday — to the churches on April 19 to be blessed.
