The custom to give eggs to celebrate the beginning of spring was very popular in the ancient times; it was passed down, 4000 years ago, by the Persians than by the Egyptians and by the Greeks. On the occasion of springtime festivities and celebrations, they used to exchange the eggs with rituals for the life, fertility and the rebirth of nature. The Romans painted them in red colour and then buried them in the fields to propitiate the productivity and the abundance of the harvest.
