Answer

  1. Easter takes place in spring. The text doesn't specify a specific date, but it mentions that it is a Christian festival linked to the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection.
  2. Easter eggs are associated with the Christian tradition of Easter. People decorate eggs, and in the past, children received these decorated eggs as gifts during the week before Easter.
  3. Fabergé produced fabulous eggs with jewels for the Russian Czar. These eggs, known as Fabergé eggs, were produced in the 19th century and are now considered precious museum pieces.
  4. The first chocolate eggs appeared in France and Germany in the 19th century. Initially, they were bitter and hard, but chocolate-making techniques improved over time, leading to the development of modern chocolate eggs.
  5. According to folklore, the Easter Bunny brings baskets filled with colored eggs, chocolate eggs, sweets, and gifts to children's homes on the night before Easter. The bunny hides these baskets in a particular place or in the garden. Children often leave carrots for the bunny, and the next morning, they engage in an Easter egg hunt.
