What is the story of Easter Eggs?
Easter eggs are pagan remnants of older traditions. Before it became Easter weekend, the time of the spring solstice was a celebration of fertility (hence eggs and rabbits). In an effort to convert pagans, the Catholic church put Easter on the same date as "the rebirth of the son" (as opposed to the rebirth of the sun, ie the solstice). Some of the pagan traditions just never quite went away.

What are some creative ways to decorate Easter eggs?
Pysanky - Ukrainian Easter Eggs
This is a wonderful ancient art form which uses wax and dyes to create beautiful, intricately decorated eggs. You can see the list of questions under the "Pysanky Egg Art" category, listed under Hobbies and Collectibles/Arts and Crafts, or visit the pages linked below.
Quick Batik
Write on an egg with crayons (light colored) and then dye it--this is a simple form of batik, and can give interesting results.
Silk Ties - Color Eggs
You can cut up old silk ties and use them to make egg dye. If you go to the Martha Stewart web site, she has a video to show you how to use old silk ties to color eggs.
Rubber Band Eggs
Wrapping some rubber bands around an egg before coloring it can leave some pretty cool looking white stripes on the egg.

if you've seen the previews for the movie HOP you would know that he poops it out. but don't let that scare you away from chocolate. It's still as unhealthy and as delicious as before you knew that. :D
Did dolley Madison start the annual Easter egg roll at the White House?
Yes and No.
Dolley Madison, the wife of President James Madison, began the event in 1814 and hundreds of children brought their decorated eggs to join in games. The original site was on the grounds of the United States Capitol, but in 1877 a new lawn was planted and the gardeners cancelled the event. Congress then passed a law making it illegal to use the grounds as a children's playground.
At the request of a number of children, including his own, the then President Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife Lucy Hayes brought the event to the White House lawns.
Yes, Marines get Easter off, but only because it always falls on a Sunday. Like all Federal employees, U.S. Marines only get 10 Federal Holidays:
- New Year's Day
- Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Washington's Birthday
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Columbus Day
- Veterans Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
And, if they are deployed to a combat zone like Afghanistan or Iraq, or serving aboard ship, they are required to perform their normal duties. When deployed, holidays are often overlooked or celebrated with less formality than when back home in the U.S.
The only reason to roll a lawn is to help even out the ground so it is easier to mow.
What age should kids stop Easter egg hunting?
I don't think they should ever have to stop. I'm an adult and still enjoy a good Easter Egg hunt. It's fun!
I disagree because children who are older find the eggs easier and thus usually ruin the game for the younger ones. Now if you want older children to participate (8 and up), in combo with younger children, then perhaps a separate area for the older ones and a separate hunting area for the little ones. Little ones take a long time to find them. I've seen uneven age groups at egg hunts and the big kids grab all the eggs and even snatch them two steps ahead of the little ones. That is quite unfair and rude (but kids only think of the candy so they don't care).
I work with many children and I personally think once they get to 8 years old, they should do something else on Easter like a treasure hunt. That way they can get a piece or two of candy (or a toy) at the end of the hunt and it is much more geared to their age level.
