Eggs, Chocolate, and Bunnies
Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Happy Spring to all! Both eggs and rabbits are age-old fertility symbols and a sign of new life and spring. Chocolate is a part of many holiday traditions.
“For centuries, chocolate has been an intricate part of the history of many countries. Historically, Chocolate has been used as both a type of currency and also as an indulgent drink affordable only to royalty. Cocoa beans were used as currency by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations over 1400 years ago. When they had too much money to spend, they brewed the excess into hot chocolate drinks. Today, chocolate is enjoyed by all in a variety of forms and continues to be an important part of many cultures”.- chocolatesource
