The magical Easter Egg has become a universal symbol of Easter and thus the popular Easter Egg hunts that are held all around the world!
This unique oval shaped egg takes the stage every Easter as young and old alike drag out the utensils to began the annual project of decorating their Easter Eggs!
The "EGG" has been decorated in every way imaginable! It has been dyed, colored, painted and adorned in every way humanly possible to create the most beautiful Easter Egg of all!
And yes there are even contests to determine who has managed to create the winning Egg!
Some like to just grab the Egg Decorating kit from the local discount store and get the job overwith quickly...ahhh...but others go to great pains to come up with the most unique offering of the season.
Egg decorating is actually considered by some to be an art form and adorn their eggs with jewels, braids and other beautiful objects. And don't forget the famous Faberge eggs that were designed by Peter Carl Faberge in the 1800's! Now that is certainly an example of turning an egg into gold!
