How are eggs related to Easter?

People have been giving each other eggs at spring festivals for centuries to commemorate the arrival of the new season. Eggs are considered to have become a feature of Easter celebrations because they symbolize fresh life and rebirth.

Eating eggs was prohibited during Lent (the 40 days preceding Easter) in the medieval era, so munching on an egg on Easter Sunday was a real pleasure!

In certain places, chocolate eggs wrapped in coloured foil, hand-carved wooden eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as chocolate have become a modern tradition.

Fry’s introduced the first British chocolate egg in 1873, followed by Cadbury in 1875. Cadbury’s, on the other hand, originally introduced their Dairy Milk Chocolate in 1897, a formula that quickly found its way into Easter eggs and became a hit.

Resurrection Sunday : How are rabbits related to Easter?

The Easter bunny is the most modern symbol of this festival, despite the fact that it is not mentioned in the Bible. Rabbits are an ancient sign of fertility and new life, two concepts closely associated with the seasons of spring and Easter. The Germans also brought their tradition of the ‘Oschter Haws,’ an egg-laying hare. Children loved the celebration because they created nests for the Easter bunny to lay the colourful and decorated eggs. Children provided carrots for the rabbit in case he grew hungry from all the hopping around, and Easter egg hunts became a component of the holiday.
