HOW TO MAKE<br />
EASTER EGG MOSAICS<br />
Christ has Risen!<br />
Spring is in the air. That means the holiest day of the year for<br />
Christians everywhere is fast approaching. Easter Sunday is on<br />
April 16 this year. With a little research, we found some interesting facts<br />
about Easter.<br />
Did you know that Easter never occurs before March 22 or after April 25?<br />
Christians celebrate Easter as the festival commemorating the resurrection<br />
of Christ. Prior to A.D. 325, Easter was variously celebrated on<br />
different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday and Sunday.<br />
The Easter Egg predates the actual holiday of Easter. The<br />
exchange of eggs in the springtime was a custom centuries<br />
old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.<br />
From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth<br />
in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or,<br />
if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with<br />
the leaves or petals of certain flowers.<br />
Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in<br />
Easter baskets along with the modern version of real<br />
Easter eggs — those made of plastic or chocolate candy.<br />
