Answers:
Noah's grandson (Cush) and his wife Semiramis had a son named Nimrod, after Cush's death, Nimrod married his own mother and became a mighty king, she bore a son named Tammuz, who was later killed by a wild pig. Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. Semiramis proclaimed that because a pig killed Tammuz, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

I just asked my mom that question on Easter!!! She didn't know.
it isn't my mom put ribs on the grill, cooked corn on the cob, and some baked beans with iced tea to drink.

IT WAS DELICIOUS
This is a guess, but since Jews don't eat pork, maybe it was a way for the Christians to proclaim their identity.
Jesus was made of ham, therefor it makes us better people to eat Jesus before he eats us!!
don't know but i would much prefer turkey!!
Pigs were stored throughout the winter months on the shore of the sea so the salt from the water would preserve it. When the time came for a feast (Easter time), they had plenty of pig to eat.
Because Jesus was a jew and never ate post. However after Jesus' death Peter had a revelation (in the Acts of the Apostiles) and had a 'visit' that said that swine was cool to eat again!

The big J has gone, crack out the pig!!
Iam Not Sure. What Do You Do When You Dont It Meat?
Because it was traditionally cheap and it is a crowd pleaser. Almost everyone likes ham.
because ham is a religious food. Ham is eaten on Christmas. The only day Turkey is eaten the most is on Thanksgiving
On Christmas, everyone has turkey,or Chicken&dressing in our family,So on Easter we always had HAM!
It dates back to biblical times. There is a lengthy background to the Easter Ham ... but I will give you a "condensed version" (from http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/origin-of-easter-ham-faq.htm)

The Easter ham, and most other "Easter" traditions actually have their roots in Paganism and have nothing to do with Christian commemorations of the Resurrection of Jesus. Although Christianity observes Easter to acknowledge the Resurrection, most know it is not the actual day of this event.

Still, Paganistic rituals infiltrated the Christian Church and have become intermingled to the point of misconceptions. The word Easter is in the Bible only once and is used Acts chapter 12. There it tells that King Herod (an evil pagan) was preparing to participate in Easter rituals at the time of Peter's arrest. So Herod delayed bringing Peter forth for sentencing until the pagan rituals were over. (Verses 1-19)

What were these rituals and where did they begin? Noah's grandson (Cush) and his wife Semiramis had a son named Nimrod. Reports say that after Cush's death, Nimrod married his own mother and became a mighty king. He too was eventually killed. His mother then began the deceit of deifying her son/husband, claiming he had become a "sun-god" (the origin of "Easter Sunrise services), and he was then to be called Baal. (Baal was worshipped as a god of fertility and promoted sexual sin.)

She proclaimed that the people of Babylon should worship him and that he was with them in the form of a flame. This wicked Queen, doing the work of Satan, was creating a new religion and set herself up as the goddess called "Ishtar." Hence the root of the pronunciation "Easter."

After she became pregnant, she bore a son named Tammuz claiming he was the product of a sunray, which caused her to conceive. But Tammuz grew to be a hunter and was later killed by a wild pig. "Ishtar" then designated a forty day period (the source of Lent) to mark the anniversary of Tammuz's death.

During this time, no meat was to be eaten. Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. Ishtar also proclaimed that because a pig killed Tammuz, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

This is of course a condensed version of all pagan beliefs originating Easter.
