How Is that a question?
Indeed, the word Easter comes from the old Norse Eostre, the name of the goddess of springtime and fertility, hence the eggs and the Easter bunny. In fact, it was a hare, the German Osterhase. But there are other explanations for the tradition of eggs at Easter.
In medieval times, when infants were baptised at Easter, to compensate for the privations they had endured during the previous 40 days of Lent, they were given eggs and almond milk as extra special nourishment; and of course, eggs would be plentiful. We may have given up eggs for Lent, but the chickens did not stop laying them.
How to read your Easter egg, and others: The hens’ eggs we buy all have numbers and letters stamped in red which might look like a piece of meaningless jargon, but it is worth familiarising oneself with the code. The first numeral, 0 to 3 indicates the following: 0 = organic; 1 = free range; 2 = barn reared and 3 = cage-reared, that is, eggs from battery hens, although since January, the preferred term is ‘enriched colony cages’, now that the EU has insisted on a stocking density of no more than nine birds per square metre.
