The Easter egg is an ancient symbol of new life. It was associated with pagan festivals to celebrate springtime. Eggs are a potent symbol of life, renewal and rebirth. The egg was adopted by the Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus. The tradition of eating eggs on Easter is tied to Lent, the six-week period before Easter during which Christians traditionally abstained from all animal products. They would hard boil them, decorate them and then save them till Easter. The modern tradition of eating chocolate eggs at Easter is a fun, kid-friendly twist on this ancient religious ritual. To celebrate my Easter, I love to mix dark chocolate and caramel and a little of the marijuana strain Cannalope Haze. Cannalope Haze not only calms the body, but will activate your mind to perform like you never have felt before. You may even experience an underlying body buzz with a steady Energy boost great for our family Easter Egg Hunt and Rolling Competition.
