The Real Reason Easter Eggs Exist Will Shock You

🍳 Medieval England Had 400 Eggs and No Idea What to Do With Them ⛪ The Dark Medieval Reason Behind Every Easter Egg You've Ever Hunted 3. Description: Long before chocolate eggs and Easter baskets, the tradition of decorated Easter eggs was born out of pure medieval necessity. During the 40 days of Lent, the Catholic Church strictly forbade the consumption of eggs across England. But hens, indifferent to religious rules, kept laying every single day. Households boiled and stored the surplus to prevent waste, and by Easter Sunday they had accumulated hundreds — sometimes thousands — of eggs that needed to be consumed immediately. Historical records from the British National Archives confirm that in 1290, King Edward I spent 18 pence on 450 gold-leaf decorated eggs distributed to his royal household on Easter Sunday. That same year, Bishop Richard Swinfield of Hereford served over 4,000 eggs at a single Easter feast for 70 guests. The tradition of hiding eggs for children to find also dates to medieval times — it was used as a religious allegory, teaching children to reenact the disciples discovering the empty tomb. Egg rolling downhill followed the same logic: children, surplus eggs, and a hill. Chocolate Easter eggs didn't appear until early 19th century Germany. What began as a food storage crisis in a medieval monastery eventually became one of the most universally recognized holiday traditions in the world. 4.
