JAKARTA - Easter is celebrated by Christians to celebrate the rise of Jesus Christ. This celebration is usually synonymous with colorful decorated Easter eggs. So, what is the reason for Easter to be synonymous with eggs?
Eggs in Christian belief symbolize the rise of Jesus Christ. Eggs also symbolize a new life and fertility, which means it matches the Easter theme that celebrates the rise and new life. Quoted from History, decorating Easter eggs is a tradition that has been carried out since the 13th century.
This tradition stems from the prohibition of eating eggs during Lent, because Christians must fast to eat animal food. Painting and decorating the eggs is a sign of a period of sin and fasting, and will be eaten on Easter as a form of celebration. In the past, Easter eggs would be painted in red as meaning the blood of Jesus Christ who crushed them on the cross and broke the Easter egg skin as a symbol of the awakening of Jesus.
However, along with the development of the times, Easter eggs are now not only colored with red, but also with various colors and decorations that are increasingly complicated and beautiful. Easter eggs are also often used as a game called Easter Egg Hunt, which is a children's game that requires them to look for hidden and decorated Easter eggs. Watch the video below.
