Why We Eat Easter Eggs
Eggs have been a symbol of new life, renewal, new beginnings and fertility since before Christianity.
The hollow shell of an egg represents the empty tomb of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. Eggs were associated with Spring. Christians adopted the egg as a symbol at Easter when Jesus Christ died for our sins and was crucified and was resurrected from the dead on what is now Easter Sunday.

It was traditionally forbidden to eat eggs during the fasting period of Lent. This is why we celebrate
Pancake Day which uses up the eggs in the household prior
to Lent. Easter Sunday marks the end of Lent and being able to eat eggs again.
Easter time is a popular period to be baptised because it symbolises a new life committed to God. 
Gifts of Easter eggs became a Christian festival. In early days real eggs would be decorated and painted. In modern
times this still exists, though most children and many adults like to receive and eat chocolate Easter eggs. Popular
chocolate Easter eggs are those made by Cadbury's and Rowntrees such as Dairy Milk, Yorkie or Crunchie. Many chocolate
Easter eggs come with free gifts such as egg cups, spoons and mugs.
