Easter Sunday traditionally celebrates the day of Jesus's resurrection and attention into Heaven.

The tradition of Easter eggs (both chocolate and decorated) which are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime, is a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth that predates Christianity.

This celebration was aligned to Easter Sunday by the Christian Church in order to symbolise a new Church and a new beginning.
