FIVE-year-old girl Tia Paton was among the many children who met the Easter Bunny at the Fogarty’s Supermarket on Saturday last and were presented with Easter eggs.

Long ago, in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals while in medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.

And up to today Easter Eggs are decorated and distributed to children and used in several ways to add cheer to the Easter Season. (Photo by Sonnel Nelson)
