The #chocolateegg is the most popular Easter gift!!
Colorful and deliciously chocolately to remind Spring has finally bloomed!!
But what's the origin of this yummy tradition?
It all started in Egypt: the chicken egg, for it's important food properties, was considered a symbol where all the 4 elements were reunited.
According to the Romans, Spring is when the nature is reborn after the long cold season and the chicken egg represents the life's rebirth, that's why they were painting with leaves and onion skins and exchanging them.
For the Christians it was the same theory: the chick hatches out alive from the egg like Jesus did from his tomb.
But the actual chocolate egg tradition started during the Middle Ages, while in the 18th century in Russia, a matrioska egg was invented, that gave the idea to put a surprise inside.
... And voilà!!!
That's how the modern
Chocolate Easter Egg was born!!!
