HOW THE EASTER EGG TRADITION WAS BORN

The most widespread belief is that many ancient people related the egg to a symbol of early life. In cold world regions, the egg was also the symbol of the beginning of spring, where new life emerged. This whole symbolism was taken advantage of by Christianity, which, in regions such as Greece and Syria, painted eggs red in allusion to the blood of Christ and presented them during Easter.

After many centuries, commercial interest saw this custom as a great opportunity. Hence the traditional chocolate eggs also emerged, a delicious adaptation of tradition.
