Eggs
in Easter are a symbol of spring and new life.
In
the UK before they were replaced by chocolate Easter eggs real eggs were used,
in most cases, chicken eggs.
They were hard-boiled and dyed in various
colours and patterns. The traditionally bright colours represented spring and
light.
Nowadays
people give each other Easter eggs made of chocolate, usually hollow and filled
with sweets. On TV you will see adverts for Cadbury's Creme Eggs, a very sweet
confectionery. The catching phrase for the adverts is "How do you eat
yours?"
And Britain children hunt for (chocolate) Easter eggs hidden about
the home or garden by the Easter bunny.
Could
you tell an Easter tradition in your country?
Happy Easter!!!
