Many people  also  decorate eggs. These can be hard boiled eggs that can be eaten  later,  but may also be model eggs made of plastic, chocolate, candy or  other  materials. It is also common to organize Easter egg hunts. Eggs  of some  form are hidden, supposedly by a rabbit or hare. People,  especially  children, then search for them. In some areas, Easter egg  hunts are a  popular way for local businesses to promote themselves or  may even be  organized by churches.<\/p>\n<h2>Background<\/h2>\n<p>In Pagan times, many groups of people organized spring festivals.   Many of these celebrated the re-birth of nature, the return the land to   fertility and the birth of many young animals. These are the origins of   the Easter eggs that we still hunt for and eat.<\/p>\n<p>In Christian times, the spring began to be associated with Jesus   Christ\u2019s crucifixion and resurrection. The crucifixion is remembered on   Good Friday and the resurrection is remembered on Easter Sunday. The   idea of the resurrection joined with the ideas of re-birth in Pagan   beliefs.<\/p>\n<h1>10 Easy Easter Crafts for Kids<\/h1>\n<p>http:\/\/www.parenting.com\/gallery\/easy-easter-crafts-for-kids<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Facts Easter Sunday March 31 ,2013.
