The First Easter

Holidays are filled with symbols that become important parts of their celebrations. For example, when you think of Christmas, presents, a Christmas tree, or a holly wreath might come to mind. Turkeys are a symbol of Thanksgiving. And when it comes to Easter, the egg has long been part of its celebration.

Author Susan Casimire-Henry's "The First Easter" provides a possible explanation for how coloured and decorated eggs became associated with Easter. She shares how some animals got together and, after discussion and planning, created the first Easter egg. You'll learn how each animal had a role to play, each as important as the next. And you'll discover why a rabbit is responsible for delivering Easter eggs.
