EGGS AS AN EASTER GIFT
The history of the Easter egg is varied and mixed with folklore. Christian customs connected with Easter eggs are, to some extent, adaptations of ancient pagan practices related to spring rites. Easter eggs are often related to new life as the egg has long been a symbol of "fertility", "rebirth" and "the beginning".
The earliest Easter eggs were hen or duck eggs decorated at home in bright colours with vegetable dye and charcoal, but a modern custom, I'm happy to say, is to substitute with chocolate eggs or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans.
Chocolate Easter eggs were first made in Europe in the early 19th Century and remain among the most popular treats associated with Easter. YUM....great idea!
FUN FACTS
