Best Answer

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.

No one is quite sure why ham is eaten on Easter. It is thought that it has to do with a pagan belief that a pig must be killed for a good harvest.
