Celebrate with Us!
The chocolate Easter egg is one of the typical sweets of this holiday, loved by young and old! Donating decorated eggs is a custom that dates back to antiquity. Eggs have always been a symbol of sacred life. For example, mythology tells us that the sky and the earth were considered two hemispheres that went to create a single egg, while the ancient Egyptians considered the egg as the fulcrum of the four elements of the universe (water, air, earth and fire) . The Persians, on the other hand, had the tradition of exchanging simple chicken eggs at the advent of the spring season. With Catholicism the egg becomes a symbol of resurrection. It takes up the pagan tradition that the egg was a symbol of life and reworks it in the new perspective of the risen Christ: the egg, similar to a stone without life, is compared to the stone sepulcher in which Jesus was buried. but egg contains in itself a new life ready to blossom from what seemed dead. In the Middle Ages the tradition of giving decorated eggs spread as a gift for servitude.
Finally the Easter egg becomes of ... chocolate!
