Most Christians today will celebrate Easter, enjoying a traditional meal at one of the year’s most important family gathering times.
Ham and turkey seem to be the most popular main course, taking over from the once more popular lamb. Whatever the course, it is one of the biggest feasts of the year. Interestingly it is not until the late 1800s that Easter menus and recipes appeared to fill popular magazines and newspapers.
In Columbus, the old Gilmer Hotel advertised in the 1908 Easter Sunday Columbus Commercial that the hotel would be serving “Easter Dinner.” The first course was sliced tomatoes, celery, dill pickles and fresh cucumbers with Roman punch.

Even after the successful Russian Revolution in 1918, the commies simply could not get traction in the independent thinking, American population. Soon after, the commies made a strategic decision to shift out of the public view when they recognized that they could not win as open public communists. They realized that, over time, they could embed themselves in American culture as progressive liberals, socialists, and even Democrats. Their modified strategic approach worked. They used the labor unions, then the teachers unions, and ultimately academia across the board to spread the communist doctrine.
