An adorable video story, produced by Laurens Glass, features some very Easter Bunny-savvy eggheads hunting, hopping and hoping the Easter Bunny leaves them a golden egg. However, all their cuteness is part of a bigger story. Did you know eggs are symbols that pre-date Christianity? Or that later, the Christian faith adopted the egg as a symbol of a new life in Christ? Learn a little Easter history through a child’s eyes and just for fun, find out what some little eggheads say about Easter eggs — other than “yummy.”
Experts from the age of five to ten, as well as The Rev. MaryJane Pierce Norton from the General Board of Discipleship of The United Methodist Church, talk about the traditions of the Easter egg -- from hunting eggs, to coloring them, to the egg as a symbol of new life. "When they're all different colors it's kind of easy to find them."
