An Easter Egg you can't miss

'Holy week has officially started. Last Sunday was Palm Sunday which marks the beginning of holy week, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. But Easter Sunday is not included in the Holy Week as Easter Sunday is the first day of the new season of The Great Fifty Days (Pentecost). Easter Sunday is the great feast day and culmination of not only Holy Week, but the whole year. The Resurrection of Jesus is celebrated on this day and is considered the most important day in church year, as it is the day on which Jesus rose from the dead.But I'm not here to talk about Easter Sunday. I'm here to talk about the Easter Egg.

Eggs are widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out. This was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

The Easter custom was probably first introduced to America in the early 1800s by German immigrants, who brought their old traditions of the Oschter Haws. Oschter Haws, which are the easter bunny, would arrive on Easter morning, delighting kids by laying colored eggs in nests.

I really miss my childhood days when we were at the rooftop of our church hunting colored chicks all around. So, I've decided to do my own Easter Egg hunt this year. Law and behold, I found what I was looking for. An Easter egg surely no one would miss. It stands about 3 or 4 feet tall (based on my estimates).

Easter Egg from Makati Shangri-La

This giant egg is made purely from chocolate with 1/3 of its size from bottom up made from solid chocolate while the other 2/3 are hallow inside. The height nor the massive block of chocolate isn't as surprising as what I found out. This huge delectable piece of chocolate Easter Egg cost P19,999.00 and made available at Makati Shangri-La Hotel. Yes, this egg is indeed for sale.

So if you're looking for a unique Easter egg to find this year, maybe the hunt won't be as hard as those colorful eggs hidden behind bushes. Maybe this year, we can settle for a monochromatic Easter egg and let the satisfaction of our sweet tooth compensate for it.
