The story behind the Easter egg
One of the most important traditions is the Easter egg, which not only symbolises the resurrection of Jesus, but also became a symbol in the period around 1600, when Easter often coincided with Lent. Here, the many eggs that the hens began to lay in spring were collected to be enjoyed at Easter.
