6 Easter Eggs By: Brian Rosso The Easter egg is a tradition that is celebrated around the world. Many people believe that the egg is a sign of rebirth. Decorating Easter eggs dates back 2,500 years. Countries such as Russia, Romania & Poland still create very detailed colored eggs. In England, different colored yarns are also tied to the eggs to create a unique look. In the United States, children roll eggs on the ground using a spoon, which is an annual event at the White House. Beeping Easter eggs are now used to allow the visually impaired the opportunity to also hunt for Easter eggs. Happy Easter!
