Question

Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates the beginning of new life. Hens lay eggs, giving birth to life, so an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggs around your home or garden for friends or relatives to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good business for supermarkets and chocolate stores.
