Easter

In Britain, as well as in many other countries, Easter is an annual Christian festival in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the first Sunday after the fool moon that occurs on or next after March 21, the day of the spring equinox. In some countries Easter is a celebration of the arrival of spring and warmth. The idea of the new birth is marked by giving each other eggs - the symbol of new life. In the long past some people believed that the earth was hatched from a gigantic egg. Eggs have been exchanged for centuries. Ancient Egyptians dyed eggs and gave them to friends as gifts. In England friends wrote messages on coloured eggs. The practice of colouring and exchanging eggs has been carried on in many parts of the world today. Some of the most elaborately decorated eggs are kept in museums.There are some Easter games like egg – rolling and egg – shacking which are very popular among children and youngsters. Egg – rolling flourishes in northern England, Scotland, Ulster, the Isle of Man and Switzerland. Coloured hard – boiled eggs are rolled down slope by the owners. In some districts it is a competitive game. The winner is the player whose egg remains longest undamaged, but more usually, the fun consists simply of the rolling and eating. Formerly in the Hebrides egg – rolling was the opportunity to foretell the future.
