Happy Easter!!



                             Hello readers, Happy Easter Everyone!!, that's right. Easter, is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, as described in the New Testament, 3 days after his crucifixion by the Romans on the cross of calvary. Easter is near and I've got some facts about Easter that most of you did not even know. Learn and enjoy.









FIVE CRAZY FACTS ABOUT EASTER
  • . The name of Easter takes its origin from Eastre, who is an Anglo-Saxon goddess symbolising hare and egg.

  • 2. Exchange of easter eggs dates back to a springtime custom that is actually older than Easter itself, where eggs were given as a symbol of rebirth in many cultures.

  • 3. The reason the egg is so prominent is because it symbolises joy, celebration, new life and resurrection.

  • 4.The Guinness world record for the tallest chocolate Easter egg was measured at 10.39 metres which is the equivalent of about 34 feet (that’s taller than a Giraffe) and it was an astonishing 64 feet and 3.65 inches wide! It was made in Italy in 2011.

  • 5.Egg-throwing events were held in chu6rches in medieval times. It consisted of the priest tossing hard-boiled eggs to the congregation and at 12 o'clock, whoever held the egg, got to keep it. A variation of this tradition is still ongoing today with the world egg throwing championships.
