The egg is nature’s perfect

package. Decorated eggs are

much older than Easter.

Romans, Chinese, Egyptians and Persians all cherished the egg as a symbol of the universe.

The Easter egg was just an ordinary

hard boiled hen’s egg.

It was painted or coloured by some vegetable or

other edible dye, such as onion skins or

beetroot juice.

Nowadays Easter eggs are usually made of

chocolate or marzipan or sugar in different sizes,

or made from plastic and filled with smaller eggs

or other sweets.

English children believe that

Easter Bunny hides the

decorated eggs for them to find

on Easter morning

and brings them baskets

of candy.

On Easter Sunday the churches are beautifully decorated with white lilies. Children and their

parents traditionally visit

church, usually wearing new

spring clothes.

is a competition for children

who can collect the most eggs

around the house.

An Easter egg hunt

means rolling coloured eggs

down the slope untill they

are broken.

marked with a cross are

usually eaten hot. There is

an old belief that the true

Easter bun never goes moldy.
