Carmen wants to pose with the egg she brought home!
Carmen brought home from school with an Easter Egg yesterday. I wonder when the day will be? After checking, only i know that the actual day falls on 24.04.2011. Easter Day will falls on different date each year. According to the Canonical gospels, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Day.
In fact, i doubt what is the connection of the eggs with the day? Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter. The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.
The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs are often hidden, allegedly by the Easter Bunny, for children to find on Easter morning. Otherwise, they are generally put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
