Easter

According to Christian tradition, Easter is a major celebration marking the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was crucified on what is known to Christians as Good Friday and was resurrected three days later on Easter Sunday.

Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of fertility and new life, is the most identifiable. In the UK children still paint colored eggs, but most British people simply exchange chocolate eggs on the Sunday. In North America, the Easter Egg Hunt involves lots of eggs being hidden around the house or garden by the Easter Bunny before the children of the house get up for the day. They are then invited to try and find all the eggs often with a chocolate egg as the reward. (adapted from Wikipedia, and Happy-Easter.com)

But do you know there's another kind of Easter eggs? Do this worksheet to find out.
