Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are at the heart of the festival of Easter which is celebrated by followers of the Christian faith. An egg indicates a new birth; in the context of Easter it is symbolic of the resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ.
However, an Easter egg is no ordinary product of an avian species! Yes, at one time an Easter egg was a natural chicken egg that was coloured with dyes or paints. Over the years, though, the Easter egg has taken unusual forms and colours, not to mention its unique contents (tiny sweets, jelly beans, lucky charms, rings, etc). From simple plastic eggs to chocolate ones, wax-resistant eggs to bejeweled ones, Easter eggs have created an enormous design market of their own. The most famous of the unique decorative eggs are the Fabergé eggs, which historical records show were first commissioned by the Russian Czar Alexander III for his regal wife Maria Fyodorovna as a special surprise for Easter.

In today’s modern world of hectic schedules, Easter eggs are primarily store-bought ones, rather than hand-made ones. For example, you can purchase Easter eggs
from bakeries like the Monginis chain (Rs.40/-).
Go buy one today to gift your friends, family members and sweetheart!
Happy Easter!
