In Louisiana, Holy Week and Easter feel like kinda like a warm hug. In my mind, I'm picturing Easter from years past with laughter echoing through the church kitchen and dining hall, the smell of spicy gumbo in the air, and kids hunting for Easter eggs. It's a time when folks gather around tables and pews, sharing stories, and blessings. In Louisiana, Easter isn't just about tradition—it's about the love and connection and hope for a bright future.
