I'm Eastern Orthodox. 

As much as the fasting is long and hard, the feasting is compressed into several days and sumptuous. Celebration and joy most beautifully captured in the Resurrection icon . . . 

Never have I seen so much food and drink in people's homes. (There is a tradition of visiting too.) Lots of vodka if you attend a Russian Church! . . . it's where I learned to keep vodka in the freezer.
