I need to remember to buy eggs to blow and paint.

The Entity might pre-empt us on this, but if it doesn't does anyone want to help set up an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning for the kids?

It's a spring festival at its roots, but it was modified to fit into the predominant religion in the western part of the world, Christianity. According to them, Easter Friday or Good Friday was when the holy figure Jesus was unfairly executed, but on Easter Sunday he rose from the dead which proved his divinity. So traditional foods are hot cross buns that represent the cross they used to execute him and eggs on Sunday to represent new life. (That part is more directly carried over from the original beliefs.) It's pretty common to have Easter egg hunts for children where chocolate eggs get hidden around, usually in a garden, and they get to eat the ones they find. Generally children get told that they were brought by the Easter Bunny since rabbits are another symbol of fertility.

	Interesting We don’t have anything exactly like that in my galaxy that I know of, but it sounds fun. (Reply to this) (Parent)

It's a holiday where you boil eggs and dye/decorate them, set them out for an anthropomorphic rabbit, and wait for it to collect them. Then the giant rabbit, appeased at your participation, hides them in a predetermined area. Sometimes the rabbit will add extra eggs (usually plastic filled with candies, treats, and money), and, if you've been good enough to make Santa's Nice List during Christmas, it'll leave a basket full of treats (toys, games, more candy, so forth). Usually inside your place of dwelling.

	When do you finish work? Or there's tomorrow, but the shops tend to be a mess the day before a holiday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
