There are many traditional celebrations on Easter, and eggs are the most typical symbol of Easter. In ancient times, people often regarded the egg as a symbol of many children and grandchildren and resurrection, because it gave birth to new life. Later, Christians gave the egg a new meaning, thinking that it was a symbol of Jesus' tomb, from which future life was born.

People often dye eggs red at Easter, which represents the blood shed by Jesus during his crucifixion and the happiness after his resurrection. There is also an old custom of cooking eggs and playing games for street children.

They should lay eggs on the hillside: whoever breaks the eggs last will win. All the eggs belong to him. The White House also plays this game every year, just rolling eggs on the lawn.

Europeans believe that eggs have two kinds of life. The first time a hen lays an egg, it is for "rebirth", and the second time a chick emerges from its shell, it is for "rebirth". Rebirth symbolizes resurrection, so eggs are usually the most important food symbol of Easter, which means the beginning and continuation of life.

Every Easter in Germany, the demand for eggs will rise. Usually Germans like to eat brown-shelled eggs, because white-shelled eggs usually come from caged chickens. But at Easter, things are different. Why? The answer is actually very simple: because white eggs are easier to draw. You can draw on brown eggs, but the effect will not be as bright as white eggs.

In Greece, people used to dye eggs red to commemorate Jesus. The custom of dyeing eggs red has a long history in Greece. During the Byzantine period, the custom of decorating red eggs on Easter cakes appeared. After that, these customs were handed down from generation to generation and are still in use today.
