Do not use my images without asking first, please and thank you!
The Easter Egg history is to resemble the empty tomb of Jesus because the egg resembles the shape of the stone covering the tomb where Jesus's body lay. The hatching egg resembles when Jesus rose from the grave; death.

John 20:24-29: Now Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have seen and yet believed."
Even though I do not like the kitschy easter decoration (which my mom loves) you can imagine how enthusiastic was I when I saw these ladybug´s eggs :-D
So have a wonderful time and better weather than we have here

Natural light - no filter or PS alteration. The view at dawn, Easter morning 1981 at Naked Ground campsite in Joyce Kilmer Forest. The colors were amazing!
Christ is risen; he is risen indeed...!
Easter Sunday - unlike the day before - dawned clear and warm and sunny. Consequently, the day was filled in in a variety of ways...
Though not pictured above, St John's (Anglican) Church in the Wellington suburb of Trentham was (to my surprise!) full; who says New Zealanders don't observe special days like Easter?).
Early in the afternoon, we took our young student from Japan and her girlfriend (also from Japan) to the beach at McKay's Crossing. During the course of the afternoon, we saw
Upper Left - Para-gliders soaring on unseen currents of air along the face of the Paekakarekei Hills (though personally, I prefer to have a few bits of aluminium around me when "up" there!);
Upper Centre - Sheep (and a very large flock at that) grazing contentedly. The Girls were very excited to see so many sheep in one paddock;
Upper Right - One of the last Air New Zealand flights on Final Approach for nearby Paraparaumu Airport; unfortunately, the propellers stopped turning in this shot! (In an extremely unpopular move, Air New Zealand are about to discontinue flights to this airport);
Lower Left - One of two beautiful young horses trotting happily along the McKay's beach - each with its young Rider riding bare-back;
Lower Centre - a low-flying young Black-Backed Gull (one of many!), and
Lower Right - lots of happy people ambling along a beautiful stretch of coastline on a beautiful warm sunny afternoon!
HAPPY EASTER FOLKS!
"High 64, low 45 sunny and beautiful Easter Sunday ....."
weather reporter is such a tough job - how many people knows they don't know something, and can still keep trying? Anyhow, went out before the weather went south. It was cold but yet beautiful @ Ramapo reserve.

I'm taking a short break and back outside cleaning up garden areas and raking pine needles...
Have a great afternoon everyone!

Easter eggs, also called Paschal eggs, are eggs that are sometimes decorated. They are usually used as gifts on the occasion of Easter. As such, Easter eggs are common during the season of Eastertide (Easter season). The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs wrapped in colored foil, hand-carved wooden eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as chocolate. However, real eggs continue to be used in Central and Eastern European tradition. Although eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth, in Christianity, for the celebration of Eastertide, Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus, from which Jesus resurrected. In addition, one ancient tradition was the staining of Easter eggs with the colour red "in memory of the blood of Christ, shed as at that time of his crucifixion." This custom of the Easter egg can be traced to early Christians of Mesopotamia, and from there it spread into Russia and Siberia through the Orthodox Churches, and later into Europe through the Catholic and Protestant Churches. This Christian use of eggs may have been influenced by practices in "pre-dynastic period in Egypt, as well as amid the early cultures of Mesopotamia and Crete."
Years ago I bought this tree with wires in the branches so you can shape it as you choose and collapse it for storage. Then I found these glass Easter eggs to hang on it. Every year I set it up on the bookcase in front of a window. This year the bunny candy dish is next to it. I filled that with small plastic Easter eggs; safer than candy!
