Easter

Corrected Answer:

The first official US holidays were declared by Congress on June 28, 1870. New Years Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day were all declared holidays in the first act. George Washington's Birthday was declared a holiday in 1871.

According to Title 5 of the US Code, neither Congress or the President has the authority to declare a holiday that must be enforced by the states - Federal holidays are only applicable to Federal employees and the District of Columbia.

Each state chooses which holidays it will recognize.

Massachusetts declared the 4th a celebration in 1781.

Boston declared the 4th a city holiday in 1783.

North Carolina declared the 4th a holiday in 1783.

from chickens In most birds and reptiles, an egg is the zygote – a cell that is the result of fertilization. That is, two haploid cells — usually an ovum from a female and a sperm cell from a male — merge into a single diploid cell called the zygote. To enable incubation the egg is usually kept within a favourable temperature range as it nourishes and protects the growing embryo. When the embryo is adequately developed it breaks out of the egg in the process of hatching.
