We wish everyone a Happy Easter!
Did you know Easter has always been associated with eggs – whether they are eaten, searched for or painted?
The history of easter eggs goes back to medieval Europe and the Anglo-Saxon pagans. At that time the spring goddess Eostre was celebrated and honoured. Eggs were buried in her honour as a symbol of fertility for future crop plantings.
Today Easter eggs come in all shapes and colors. In fact, the tradition of painting Easter eggs in Great Britain dates back to the 12th century. Edward The First bought 450 eggs for Easter, which were certified with gold leaf and then shared between the ‘royal entourage’.
