For some, it is the prospect of spreading love, spending quality time with family, and don’t even get me started on the food! – The traditional, special Easter dish of baked ham, potatoes, and vegetables. For others, it is a period for introspection. But one thing is sure: there is bound to be a celebration.
Easter celebration is one of the oldest, most popular, and bubbly holidays in the United States, marked by large events and festivities, from the traditional Easter egg roll to colorful parades, a very busy bunny, and the Easter egg hunt.
One constant, however, is the “Easter eggs.”
Despite being a religious holiday, some Easter customs and symbols, such as “Easter eggs” and related games like egg rolling, Easter egg hunts, and egg decorating, are most likely rooted in pagan practices. The egg, an ancient symbol representing birth or new life, is often associated with pagan spring festivals.
Although the origins of the Easter egg painting and decorating tradition are unknown, some sources claim that it has been practiced in Eastern Orthodox and Western churches since the Middle Ages, specifically the 13th century. The church forbade the consumption of eggs during holy week, which is the week preceding Easter, but chickens continued to lay eggs throughout the week, and the belief that these eggs should be marked as holy led to their decoration. Colouring eggs has continued in modern secular nations such as the United States, where the White House Easter egg roll has taken place on the Monday following Easter since 1878, with children rolling Easter eggs down Capitol Hill.
Easter symbols and traditions have evolved, but traditions such as the consumption of copious amounts of Easter chocolate and candy have become modern additions to the celebration of this springtime holiday.
With Easter around the corner, many things come to mind, and one of the most important things to consider is the amount of chocolate to stock up on, especially for the kids.
But why limit the fun to the kids?
There are lots on offer beyond the standard chocolate and creme eggs. It turns out that there are a variety of luxury Easter eggs of various shapes and sizes for the adults, packed with lots of goodness like wine and gin-infused truffles and specially crafted chocolate bars – and they are all so divine!
