Easter in China...














I couldn't find much online about Easter in China, if they celebrate it or not, but here are some fun facts I did find...

The Chinese believed in the sacredness of eggs and gave them as gifts during joyful celebrations.

Eggs have been a symbol of spring and fertility in China.

At least 3000 years ago the Chinese painted eggs red for spring festivals.

Historic documentation tells us that in 722 B.C. a Chinese Chieftain gave painted eggs as gifts in celebration of a spring festival.

So take from it what you will.

We can't wait to celebrate with Avery someday!

Happy Easter to everyone!

Love,
Alli & Gary
