 Mission﹕Happy Easter

【明報專訊】Just as the Smarties are puzzling about the egg, Eason suddenly bursts it from the inside and surprises everyone!

Easter is an important holiday of Christianity that celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection from death. Eggs symbolise new life, fertility and rebirth in many cultures. Easter egg hunt is a traditional Easter activity that remains popular, as is Easter egg rolling. Typical Easter foods like chocolate eggs and bunnies are sold in all parts of the world.

Next Easter the first family of the United States will host the 138th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. A White House Easter Egg Roll is a race in which children roll decorated hard-boiled eggs with a long spoon rather than by hand across the lawn in the White House. Apart from the traditional egg roll, games and storytelling will also be featured. Over 35,000 people are going to take part in those events.
