All About Easter Eggs
Easter eggs are a fun and colorful part of Easter. They are often painted, decorated, or even made of chocolate. People hide them for children to find, or give them as gifts. This tradition is enjoyed by many families around the world.
Easter is a major holiday in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, and many other Christian countries. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter eggs are a symbol of new life and hope.
Why Do People Decorate Eggs?
Long ago, eggs were seen as a sign of new life. In spring, many animals and plants start to grow again. People believed that decorating eggs was a way to welcome this new life.
Today, many families color eggs using paint, stickers, or natural dyes. Some even use gold foil or glitter! In Germany, it is common to hang decorated eggs on trees. In the U.S. and U.K., kids join Easter egg hunts to find hidden eggs in parks or backyards.
Chocolate Eggs and Modern Fun
Chocolate eggs are now very popular. You can find them in many shops before Easter. They come in all sizes—some even have toys or candy inside! Big chocolate egg hunts happen in cities, schools, and churches.
In Australia, some people use toy kangaroos or bilbies instead of bunnies for Easter hunts. In Canada, families often enjoy a big meal together and exchange chocolate eggs. In the U.S., there is a famous Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn.
Easter eggs bring people joy and create fun memories, especially for children. Whether real or chocolate, they are a happy part of the holiday.
