Happy Easter!
Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in different faiths and religions.
In the case of Mesopotamia, the Easter egg comes from the fertility Goddess Ishtar, (Astarte, Ashera, Astaroth, Inanna), worshiped by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites...
Ishtar is the origin of the name given in English to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day, a celebration that is called Easter and in German, Ostern.
Between the 9th and 18th centuries, the Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent, considering it equivalent to meat, and for this reason people cooked and painted them to differentiate them from frescoes and to be able to consume them on Easter Day.
Over time, these traditions were incorporated into the Easter festivity and today the Easter egg is a universal symbol.
For many, the egg resembles the resurrection as a symbol of new life.
Commerce and modernity, for their part, have been in charge of incorporating chocolate eggs, and plastic eggs to be filled with sweets, and which according to legend are hidden by the Easter rabbit for children to look for. and therefore, find them and eat them. (Source: Wikipedia)
HUEVOS DE PASCUA, 2023
¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!
Los huevos, en general, eran un símbolo tradicional de fertilidad y renacimiento en diferentes credos y religiones.
En el caso de Mesopotamia el huevo de Pascua viene de la Diosa de la fertilidad Ishtar, (Astarté, Asera, Astaroth, Inanna), adorada por los babilonios, asirios, fenicios, cananeos...
Ishtar es el origen del nombre que se da en idioma inglés a la celebración de la Resurrección de Jesús al tercer día, celebración a la que llaman Easter y en alemán, Ostern.
Entre los siglos IX y XVIII, la Iglesia prohibió el consumo de huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerándolos equivalentes a la carne, por lo que se cocinaban y pintaban para diferenciarlos de los frescos y poder consumirlos el día de Pascua.
Con el tiempo, estas tradiciones se incorporaron a la festividad de la Semana Santa y hoy en día el huevo de Pascua es un símbolo universal.
Para muchos, el huevo se asemeja a la resurrección como símbolo de una nueva vida.
El comercio y la modernidad, por su parte, se han encargado de incorporar los huevos de chocolate, y los huevos de plástico para rellenar con dulces, y que según la leyenda son escondidos por el conejo de Pascua para que los niños los busquen y por lo tanto, encontrarlos y comerlos.

For Macro Mondays theme; "Egg".
A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.

"You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It's quite a simple difference, but an important one. Friday comes at the end of the week, whereas a fried egg comes out of a chicken. Like most things, of course, it isn't quite that simple. The fried egg isn't properly a fried egg until it's been put in a frying pan and fried. This is something you wouldn't do to a Friday, of course, though you might do it on a Friday. You can also fry eggs on a Thursday, if you like, or on a cooker. It's all rather complicated, but it makes a kind of sense if you think about it for a while."

Throughout the world a variety of different tales have developed to explain to children how eggs “appear” on the Easter morning. Often the tales involve animals that are personified in one sense or another.
The tradition of Easter bunny or hare was probably brought to America by German immigrants, along with the practice of setting out hats and bonnets in the hope that the Easter bunny would leave eggs for Easter morning.
