As we continue to celebrate Easter (The Great Fifty Days beginning on Easter Day and ending on the Day of Pentecost), a few daily pretzel factoids that didn't make my Easter Children's Sermon.
Perhaps because of its religious roots, the pretzel has long been considered a good-luck symbol.
German children wear pretzels around their necks on New Year's Day.
In Austria in the 16th century, pretzels adorned Christmas trees, and they were hidden along with hard-boiled eggs on Easter morning.
