Because ham is really tasty! Plus, ham is closely related to bacon, and we know how good bacon is.

Ham is one meat that would make it through the winter. Animals are typically killed in the fall, when they are fat after eating all spring and summer. And they don't have to be fed over the winter with stored grain and hay. The animals also lose a great deal of weight and it doesn't make sense to kill them when they are skinny. Pigs

Originally pigs were killed in the Fall. The curing process was time consuming, and the hams were usually ready at Easter time. It is really about convenience more than anything. would be killed in the fall and the hams preserved with salt and smoke.

Why do you eat ham on Easter?

Easter occurs about the same time as Passover. In the original Passover the Jews put lamb's blood on their doors, so the Angel of Death would pass them by. In the modern day Passover service, a lamb's bone is at the table to remember the original Passover. Lamb is served at Easter, because of it's nearness to Passover. Ham is also served because, most Christians do not observe Kosher laws, (which prohibit the eating of pork), and it's a cheap meat.
