The Christian festival of Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ. Long before this, though, pagans celebrated the changing of the seasons and the renewed life of Earth at this time of year.
In ancient times, the egg was a symbol of fertility and new beginnings. Christians adopted this to represent their Saviour's resurrection.The tradition of colouring eggs in bright colours - representing the sunlight of spring - goes back to the Middle Ages and is still an important custom for many Christians.
