Easter is the springtime holiday marking the rebirth of Jesus and the renewal of the Christian faith. It is a festival that has both Christian and Pagan symbolism with the Easter Bunny, eggs and spring meaning fertility and being re-born.
However, many people who are not religious celebrate Easter with chocolate eggs and eating hot cross buns. It is a popular holiday with children as they get to give and receive chocolate.
In many countries painting and decorating eggs is a traditional activity for the Easter celebration. This is a great video clip from Romania, a wonderful example of a decorative egg.
