Butter lamb

Butter lamb

The butter lamb (Baranek wielkanocny) is a traditional addition to the Easter Meal for many Polish Catholics. Butter is shaped into a lamb either by hand or in a lamb-shaped mould. It is also sold at delis, Polish specialty markets, and some general grocery stores at Easter time.

Frequently the eyes are represented by peppercorns and a white banner with a red cross on a toothpick is placed on its back. Buffalo, NY's Malczewski Poultry Stand at the Broadway Market place an "Alleluia" flag on the lamb's back and a red sash is across the lamb's neck.
