A favourite activity over the Easter weekend will always be the Easter egg hunt.
The joy of the Easter Egg Hunt is believed to have started in America when German immigrants took their Osterhase tradition to Pennsylvania in the 1700s.
It was not long, until this tradition spread across the nation and eventually all across the world.
The treasure hunt prizes have always been, according to tradition, hard-boiled eggs but have later changed to more tasteful treats like candy and chocolate – Thank goodness.
Easter Egg Hunts have spread wide and far with the Cypress Gardens Adventure Park in Winter Haven, Florida, USA, holding the Guinness World Record.
In 2007 on April 1, 501 000 eggs were hidden and was searched for by 9 753 children accompanied by their parents.
Many years of Easter Egg Hunting have passed and with this tradition still going strong, many are forever more to come.
