As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the
Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter.
The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom
that was centuries old when Easter was first
celebrated by Christians.
From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of
rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in
gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly
by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain
flowers.
