The day that we celebrate Easter always falls on a Sunday, but it fluctuates between March 22 and April 25. Colorful and brightly decorated eggs, egg rolling, and egg hunts are an integral part of Easter celebrations around the world. The tradition of dyeing hard-boiled eggs started before the birth of Christianity. People around the world believe that the egg symbolizes new life, fertility, and rebirth.

Christians view the "Easter egg" as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, painting eggs for Easter is a beloved tradition. In the United States, Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are popular traditions. Parents hide Easter eggs in the house or outside in preparation for Easter morning when children and others seek out and collect as many eggs as possible.
