Easter

The main attribute of the Catholic Easter are eggs and hares.Easter was originally a pagan holiday in honor of the goddess of dawn and spring. Easter was a celebration of the revival of nature after winter. In the second century, Christian missionaries tried to convert pagans to Christianity. They did this gradually, allowing the pagans to celebrate their feast in a Christian manner. The pagan festival of Easter took place at the same time as the Christian holiday in honor of the resurrection of Christ. Gradually, the pagan holiday gave way to the Christian.

The main attribute of the Catholic Easter are eggs and hares that bring them. Some paint eggs, others paint them. It is said that this tradition originated in ancient Egypt. There are also Christian legends. According to one of them, Mary Magdalene presented an egg as an Easter gift to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. She accompanied her gift with a story about the resurrection of Christ. The emperor doubted her, saying that the white egg would turn red. And a miracle happened...

With festive eggs associated with the main Easter entertainment. I can't count them all. Eggs are rolled off the slide or on the grass, thrown at friends, hit each other with a sharp or blunt end, they are even thrown coins. One of my favorite children’s entertainments is egg hunting. The point of the game is to find all the eggs previously hidden in the house or garden.
