EASTER EGGS STORY
People have exchanged eggs as gifts at spring festivities throughout history to mark the arrival of the new season. It is believed that this ancient tradition of using eggs as a symbol of new life and rebirth evolved into an Easter celebration. Eating an egg on Easter Sunday was a wonderful pleasure since in the medieval era.
According to some reports, Easter egg decorating has been a ritual since at least the 13th century. Eggs were once a prohibited meal during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to signify the end of the period of sorrow and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration. This is one reason for the ritual.
Gifts have been given and received among friends and family members for Easter celebrations for generations.
By the Victorian era, Easter treats were placed inside hollow, oval-shaped creations made in the shape of eggs, with the Fabergé eggs being the most lavish example of this custom.
About the same period, chocolate eggs started to appear, particularly in France and Germany and eventually became a popular practice in every country. Since the flavour profiles we have now did not exist yet, these hollow chocolate eggs were far more bitter and black than the Easter eggs we know today.
The hollow eggs were then improved upon by British chocolatiers, who eventually popularized the product all over the world.
Fast forward a few of decades and the modern easter egg has various fantastic flavours and may be customised by world-class chocolatiers to make these delicacies even more pleasurable.
There is no reason why they can’t be enjoyed by people of all ages, even though they are a fun part of Easter activities for kids like making an Easter egg for a basket, an egg hunt, or perhaps an Easter egg decoration class (with delicious chocolates and unique flavors being combined perfectly).
