The History of Easter Eggs
Fancy Easter eggs are popular with both kids and adults, but do you know the origin of this popular tradition? The first Easter eggs were made from chicken’s eggs, then dyed and painted. They represented the empty tomb, after the resurrection of Jesus.
Christians celebrated Eastertide by eating eggs, which they were forbidden from doing during Lent. Decorated eggs became popular in Eastern Europe. A fun holiday tradition for kids is to hide a selection of wrapped mini Easter eggs for them to find in your garden.
It is thought that the first chocolate Easter egg was made by J.S. Fry & Sons in England in 1873.
Well known chocolate manufacturer Cadbury produced a mouldable cocoa butter in 1875. The new chocolate egg really took off from then onwards. They were originally eaten on Easter Sunday, but now they’re the perfect treat throughout the Easter period.
Faberge Easter Eggs
Decorative Easter eggs are often made of materials such as porcelain, glass, or metal, and they can be elaborately decorated with painting, gems, or gold leaf.
Fabergé eggs were created as Easter gifts for the wives of Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia by Peter Carl Fabergé. These enamelled masterpieces featured gemstones and intricate design details.
Over 60 imperial eggs were created, of which around 57 have survived. Each one contains a surprise inside, from a gold egg yolk to a miniature ruby egg necklace.
