Why is there such thing as Easter?
On good Friday, Jesus was crusified and put on the cross, on Easter Sunday we celebrate the anniverary of when Jesus came back to life. The reason that we have Easter eggs on Easter, there is two reasons, I used to go to a Catholic school so I learnt a lot about God and Jesus and how Jesus died and all that stuff. Here are the reasons that we have Easter eggs: The first reason: When Jesus was buried in a cave, when he came back to life he had to move a big boulder or giant rock to get out, it was an egg shape. Everyone knows that most people love chocolate, so they take the egg from the egg shaped boulder or giant rock and the chocolate,also to pig out a bit on chocolate because lent has ended. The second reason: An egg represents new life, when Jesus came back to life it was new life, when chickens eggs hatch and other animals that grow in eggs it is new life, so the egg represents the new life of Jesus, the chocolate is just as a treat, also to pig out a bit on chocolate because lent has ended.
