Easter eggs are a traditional gift around the holiday for friends and family. The sweet treats are shaped like eggs to symbolise birth and life, so as to remind Christians of the rebirth of Jesus Christ. The holiday is also a chance to look forward to year ahead, including the summer months. Lambs are in the fields, baby bunnies are in the hedgerows and children are off school to spend time with their parents. And, course, to indulge in some delicious chocolate eggs.
