Have you ever wandered the origin of Easter eggs?  We have all searched for easter eggs when we were kids, or bought some colourful handpainted eggs in a market, but where does this symbol came from?

The egg is widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out.  It is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring.  The early Christians adopted it as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus, its “rebirth”.

Easter eggs are traditionally hidden in England and Easter Europe and searched for after by children. In the origins, they were painted chicken hard-boiled eggs, but nowadays it is either chocolate or plastic.

Go and search for your Easter eggs during the holidays!
