Why do we give chocolate easter eggs at easter?

Because Jesus liked eggs! I kid. Really, because eggs, bunnies, and baby chickens all represent spring and fertility.

When early Christians were out trying to convert Pagans to thier way of believing, the Pagans (even the ones that were receptive to Christianity) didn't want to give up thier holidays and celebrations. So one way to convert them and still keep them happy was to keep a few of thier symbols and rituals and incorporate them into Christian celebrations. So the fertility celebration was blended into Easter, and we put up a pine tree to celebrate the birth of Christ.

But then again, I do love shouting "Jesus is back! Hide the eggs!" So that might be the real reason we do it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
