BigSausage 0 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 What does Easter mean to you? When I was a kid, I used to get loads of chocolate eggs, creme eggs, etc etc. I dont get any now. So it's lost all meaning. Link to post Share on other sites

nagpants 1 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Does that include illegally downloading music?? ----- I had a dream recently. It was really strange. I fell down the stairs and cracked my head. It opened, revealing itself to be a gigantic Cadburys Creme Egg - so you can imagine all that middle part oozing out. I wonder what it meant. Hey thats a good topic. I'll make a new topic. Link to post Share on other sites

akibun 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Why chocolate egg? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Choco is popular with most people, esp chisldren thus it makes easter more commercially viable. I blame the Germans (the ones who lost the war in 1944) Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Thank you, but why egg? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Nobody really knows for sure, but it is thought that Christians visiting northern Europe borrowed some existing customs and festivals to make Christianity more attractive to the natives. It is suggested that eggs were a symbol of spring. It is also suggested that the egg is a symbol of the stone used to block Christ's tomb, but this sounds rather far-fetched.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I for one think that birds are very clever making eggs, and I thank them. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 the past coupla years i totally missed when easter happened. but today i did a lesson about easter with my special class. i told them the easter bunny is like santa claus but brings chocolate eggs, jellybeans, and candy instead of presents. then kids look for colored eggs outside on easter day. so in class we dyed eggs. the students had fun. i dont really care about all the religious stuff connected with easter so i didnt mention it.

Dims 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Eggs are also meant to be a symbol of new life, rebirth. They are meant to remind us of the fact that Jesus died and was brought back to new life during the resurection. At least that's what I was taught in my catholic upbringing. (Don't believe it kiddies, it's a load of bollacks) Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Apart from Easter eggs, I also used to enjoy Hot Cross Buns (no not those "buns",the one made with bread that you can really eat and not just bite). However, since I discovered skiing, all my Easters have been spent in Japan, so I haven't tasted those buns in a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
