Where did the easter egg start?

First question - The Easter egg started in the Easter bunny. Egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial, filled with or made of chocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden in various places for children to find. The game may be both indoors and outdoors. The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in Pagan celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the rebirth of man at Easter. Traditionally the game is associated with Easter and Easter eggs (Easter egg hunt), but it has also been popular with spring time birthday parties.

The ancient Persians painted eggs for Nowrooz, their New Year celebration, which falls on the Spring equinox.[citation needed] This tradition has continued every year on Nowrooz since ancient times. The only medieval source of information on Eostre, a supposed Germanic goddess known only from the writings of Bede who may have given her name to the festival, does not mention eggs at all. [1]. Some believe that Eostre was associated with eggs and hares. [2]. As explained in the article on Eostre, it is, however, the more accepted historical line that it is doubtful whether Eostre was ever actually worshiped as a Goddess or whether Bede merely speculated about the origin of the term "Easter" without having any definite information. There are also good grounds for the association between hares (later termed Easter bunnies) and eggs, through folklore confusion between hares' forms (where they raise their young) and plovers' nests. [3] In the 18th Century Jakob Grimm theorised a pagan connection to Easter eggs, with a putative goddess of his own who he named Ostara, a suggested German version of Eostre. Overall, despite the speculation regarding a goddess, there is little doubt that the Western name for the festival, Easter derives from the germanic word Eostre which is also a name mentioned by Bede as a past English goddess. It is only in Germanic languages that a derivation of Eostre is used as Eostre is a Germanic goddess (or at least a Germanic word) and thus not likely to appear in non-Germanic countries. Most European languages use a term derived from the Hebrew pasch meaning passover. In Spanish, for example, it is Pascua; in French, Paques. Some languages use a term meaning Resurrection, such as Croatian Uskrs. Ukrainian Easter eggs, or pysanky.At the Jewish Passover Seder, a hard-boiled egg dipped in salt water symbolizes both new life and the Passover sacrifice offered at the Temple in Jerusalem. The egg is widely used as a symbol of new life just as a chick might hatch from the egg. The Easter egg tradition may have celebrated the end of the privations of Lent in the West, though this is speculation. Eggs were forbidden during Lent as well as other traditional fast days; since chickens would not stop producing eggs during this time, a larger than usual store tended to be available at the end of the fast, which had to be eaten quickly to prevent spoiling. Likewise, in Eastern Christianity, both meat and dairy are prohibited during the fast, and eggs are seen as "dairy" (a foodstuff that could be taken from an animal without shedding its blood). It was also traditional to use up all of the household's eggs before Lent began, which established the tradition of Pancake Day
