  One of the oldest Easter symbols in the world is the egg. Exchanging and eating Easter eggs and hot cross buns  is a popular tradition in many countries. The eggs are dyed in different colours. Nowadays people give each other Easter eggs made of chocolate.   

   The most popular Easter games with eggs are “Egg hunt ”and “Egg rolling”. The legend says an “Easter bunny” hides eggs in the garden and children   have to find them on Easter morning.
