Pretzel Day at Zoar Bakery

/ April 3, 2026

Coming Soon

The event

The Zoar Bakery continues the Separatists’ Good Friday tradition by selling fresh pretzels on April 3 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pretzels will be available for purchase fresh from the oven and convenient grab-and-go stations.

Eating pretzels on Good Friday is a centuries-old tradition dating back to the Roman Empire. While there are many religious symbolisms found in pretzels, their ingredients also make them a fasting-compliant food during Lent.

Plain, salted and dessert pretzels will be available. Pretzels from the Bakery oven will be limited to two per person. Pretzel multi-packs will be available at grab-and-go stations.

Proceeds from the pretzel sale benefit Historic Zoar Village educational programming and building restorations.
