Eggs + Easter
It is highly believed that Easter eggs are pagan symbols. The German version of Eostre – Ostara – was the goddess that Jakob Grimm created in his stories. Another tradition of Easter egg is the Passover Seder where a hardboiled egg is dipped in saltwater is symbolic of brand new life as well as the Passover sacrifice at the temple in Jerusalem.
By the time that the Christians caught up with the tradition, the egg was yet another symbol of life just as a chick could hatch anytime from an egg. The Easter egg hunt ends the season of Lent with children hunting for the painted hardboiled eggs.
