Easter Egg Traditions
In our family we all gather together for Church services and a huge Easter lunch. Afterwards we(all the Moms) sneak out and hide boiled, decorated, "Easter" eggs throughout the grasses and shrubs. The children then come out with their Easter baskets and begin hunting for easter eggs. It is a mad dash for fun and some of the eggs are hollow, colored, plastic eggs filled with delicious chocolate candies. The children are of course most excited about the chocolates. The hard boiled eggs collected are usually used to make egg sandwiches or in potato salad during the week. Of course you can also remove the shell and eat them with salt and pepper. This is a small look into my world on Easter Sunday. It is a day of worship, family and family activities.
"Christians adopted the egg as an Easter symbol because of the relationship between Easter and the renewal of life.
Exchanging and eating Easter eggs is a popular custom in many countries. In most cases, chicken eggs are used. The eggs are hard-boiled and dyed in various colors and patterns. Many countries have their own traditional patterns. Probably the most famous Easter eggs are those designed in Ukraine and Poland, where Christians decorate the eggs with complicated red, black, and white patterns.
In many countries, children hunt for Easter eggs hidden about the home. Children in the United Kingdom, Germany, and some other countries play a game in which eggs are rolled against one another or down a hill. The egg that stays uncracked the longest wins. Since 1878, children in Washington, D.C. have been invited to roll eggs on the White House lawn."
