Easter EggsBy: Brian RossoThe Easter egg is a tradition that is

celebrated around the world. Manypeople believe that the egg is a sign ofrebirth. Originally, people would takegreat time and effort to paint anddecorate eggs. However, over time,some people chose to use plasticeggs or chocolate eggs instead.

• Decorating Easter eggs datesback 2,500 years.

• Countries such as Russia,Romania and Poland still createvery detailed colored eggs.

• Some people prefer tan Eastereggs, so they boil the eggs inwater containing onion skins.

• In England, different coloredyarns are also tied to the eggs tocreate a unique look.

• On Easter in the United Kingdom,painted eggs are rolled downsteep hills for fun.

• In the United States, children rolleggs on the ground using aspoon, which is an annual eventat the White House.

• Easter egg hunts are anotherfamous tradition.

• Beeping Easter eggs are nowused to allow the visuallyimpaired the opportunity to alsohunt for Easter eggs.
