Why do we look for eggs during Easter?

Happy Friday!

Have you ever wondered why egg hunts and games are connected to Easter?

Well, here’s the shortest answer to this curious topic: the Easter eggs aren’t of Christian or biblical origin. The eggs themselves are linked to pagan traditions and symbolisms, which depict life and birth, but they aren’t indicated in the annals of old Christian customs.

The egg decoration, games, and other fun activities we enjoy during Easter Sunday are all gradual additions of different cultures, people, and beliefs that became incorporated and synonymous with the event.

As more time passed, all of it got packed into one and now it’s normal for us to enjoy Easter’s egg-related fun.

Who knew that everyone would link the end of the Christian Holy Week with a mythical bunny that lays colorful eggs? Regardless, the kids love investigating and finding these colorful symbols of life hidden in the most creative of places. Speaking of fun investigation, Albert Einstein, one of the world's most notable scientific minds, had this to say:

“Games are the most elevated form of investigation.”
