Expecting a visit from the Easter Bunny shortly?

Bunnies, baskets and bonnets are harbingers of the secular celebration of Easter.

At Easter, kids would hide eggs. Go around to hen nests and get a egg or two every day and hide them so you’d have some for Easter.

Shannon Colaianni Tinnell shows how to make Easter ravioli, an old handed down Italian tradition her WV family has lived by for generations.
