Easter is the oldest Christian festival there is, dating back to a time even before Christmas. Easter traditions have been celebrated for centuries, and it is considered one of, if not the most, important festival in accordance with the Christian calendar.

Among the many celebrations associated with Easter, the exchange of Easter eggs, candy and chocolate treats are by far the most popular. Easter eggs are highly symbolic of new life, birth, new beginnings, and the resurrection of Jesus.

The Easter holidays mark a particularly jovial time for everyone in Malaysia. We take this opportunity to host and attend family gatherings, and to connect with loved ones. There is an array of enjoyable events that spread across the country, including Easter baking workshops, face-painting and a display of delightful Easter-themed food, such as cakes, sweets and savoury dinners.

Another custom involves egg painting. This is said to have derived from the fact that during Lent, back in 13^th century, eggs were considered a forbidden food. To signify the end of a time of fasting and penance, people used to paint and decorate eggs. They would then consume the eggs on Easter as part of the celebration. These days, children can also partake in egg painting, and to add more excitement to the festive fun, competitions for the best designs are held at certain venues. Chocolate Easter eggs are exchanged between families and friends, and everyone can join in an Easter egg hunt.

We know too well that, during this time of new beginnings and gift exchange, how important it is to choose the right gifts for the right people.
