At Easter, we give each other eggs. Eggs symbolize the resurrection and new life of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion.

When this tradition started, it was bird eggs painted in bright colors that were given.

Now, we give chocolate eggs to each other, and especially to children that often have even more chocolate inside.

A popular activity at Easter is to hold an Easter egg hunt. Small eggs are hidden in an area, usually a garden or public place

such as a school, and then people try to find them.

The eggs can be real eggs that have been hard-boiled and painted or small chocolate eggs.

Schools will hold many events and competitions related to Easter, and one of the most famous is the Easter Bonnet Parade.

For this, hats are decorated with Easter related decorations such as eggs, chicks, and rabbits.

There are egg-rolling competitions where hard-boiled eggs are rolled down a slide or a hill,

and the egg that travels the furthest without breaking apart, wins.

Also, there are egg decorating competitions.
