t M-Lancaater Farming, Saturday, March 22, 1997 THIS WEEK WIT The Eternal Easter Egg In Italy, it’s said you spend your Christmas with your family, but you spend Easter with whom you want. A celebration of love as much as of the Resurrection, the Italian Easter is also an occasion to bestow valuable trinkets from expensive jewelry to promises of vacation getaways in the confines of a chocolate egg. How the egg evolved to this form’ from humbfe hard-boiled slate is uncertain But f always the egg has meant good luck, fertility, abun dance, and new life Together with the spring equinox, the Easter egg promises that the cycle of the seasons is eternal Eggs and oaths are easily broken kt Salt the water for boiling eggs; cracked eggs won't leak and the eggshells will slip off more easily.
