Drawn with Bic 0.7 mechanical pencil, lined with fine Sharpie pen, colored with Staedtler pencil crayons, touched up with GIMP, scanned with a Brother printer.

Its Holy Saturday and Bronia, Lola and the Lonely Warrior are going to bless their Easter basket.

The blessing of the Easter basket is a Polish tradition. Our baskets usually contains bread, salt, pepper, meat (sausage and/or bacon), eggs (usually decorated "pisanki" or "Easter eggs"), horseradish, and, of course, everyone's favorite - the sugar lamb. The lamb represents Jesus and His flag represents Jesus's triumph over death in the Resurrection. It really is made completely out of sugar, but they also sell lambs made of dough. We sometimes also add sweets - like the "babka" (bundt) in this basket and/or chocolate eggs (in more recent years)

This is what Polish Easter baskets look like

My family decorates ours with flowers, just the ones from our garden usually
Bronia of course decorated with daisies

Polish Easter eggs can be painted (like Bronia's), made with wax (like in Ukraine), or decorated with special plastic wrap (for children), however, in my region, we dip them in red onion and scratch patterns into them like so:

See Bronia and her family make their pisanki (Easter eggs) here:

The church is a real church - Kaplica Najświętszego Serca Jezusa w Jaszczurówce or Jaszczurówka. Its located in the Tatra mountains where Bronia and her family live. The town they live in is fictional and it does have a church, but when I saw my parents' wedding anniversary photos from this chapel I couldn't resist drawing it.
