The word Passover derives from the Hebrew term Passover, which means “passage”, a reference to the episode of the liberation of the Hebrew people from Egyptian captivity, narrated in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
Easter is considered one of the most important Christian festivals, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a mobile party, meaning the date of celebration varies depending on the year. However, as a rule, it usually happens between the 22nd of March and the 25th of April.

There is a lot of life that is born from an egg, isn't there? There's an egg with a bird's life inside, an egg with a chick's life, an egg with a lizard's life, an egg with a snake's life... There's an egg of all sizes and life in all ways...
But what is born from an Easter egg? That I didn't know and I went to ask Dona Galinha.
– Dona Galinha, the lady who is an egg specialist, tell me something: what is born from an Easter egg?
Dona Galinha, very spiteful with the competition from the bunnies, cackled:
– Nothing is born, my daughter! It's rotten egg, fake egg, fake! These bunnies' craziness these days. I never heard that a rabbit knew about eggs, hatching and all! Self-respecting egg has a chick inside!
The rooster appeared and I quickly left the yard. I walked around and around until I found Dona Coruja in a tree. I repeated my question:
– O Lady Owl, please tell me: what is born from an Easter egg?
Mrs. Owl giggled superiorly, bulging her eyes wide and said:
– Of course, little owls are born. Owls, as everyone knows, are the cutest animals in the world! My kids are very smart, very…
I left Dona Owl praising herself alone and went ahead, on my way. And on my way there was a snake. I was soon asking:
– Oh Dona Cobra, tell me, if possible: what is born from an Easter egg?
– Snakes, well…
And continued winding its way.
And I stayed there, under that other tree, shocking my thoughts. Until the idea of looking for Dona Coelha was born in my head. After all, she must know all about Easter eggs.
I walked around here and there, until I found her little house.
Dona Coelha's house looked more like an anthill! There were bunnies of all sizes, colors and ages. Everyone making Easter eggs. Dona Coelha stirred a pot on a wood stove, singing a little song, and the rabbits repeated the refrain:
– My lemon, my lemon tree, / my jacaranda tree, / once having-read-read, / once having-read-there...
Excusing myself, I went through the middle of the bunnies until I got close to Dona Coelha and immediately spoke of my doubts.
– Sorry Mrs. Coelha, I went around asking what is born from an Easter egg, and nobody knew how to answer me correctly until now. Dona Galinha said that nothing was born. Mrs. Owl said that little owls were born. Cobra, little snakes. I don't understand anything anymore. I never heard that there were snakes inside an Easter egg! They are kidding me, aren't they?
Mrs. Rabbit smiled:
-Each person puts a little bit of their life in their Easter egg. Owl's egg becomes an owl. Snake's egg turns into a snake, a gecko's egg turns into a gecko… You have to be very careful with what you put inside the Easter eggs.
I still didn't understand anything. But Dona Coelha continued to explain:
– What the person puts inside the Easter egg is born. Friendship is born, affection is born, hope is born, happiness is born...
Dona Coelha and her huge family continued to sing happily when I left there loaded with Easter eggs.
And do you know what happened when I got home? Do not know?
I got my Easter cards to send along with the eggs to my friends. And I was writing everything that I felt was being born in my heart for each one of them.
The hope of a beautiful future for Pedro was born, the desire for a peaceful life for Madalena…
I hung the cards on the Easter eggs and it seemed to me that each egg glowed with life!

Easter Activities with Text Interpretation
THE OLD WOMAN, THE CHICKEN AND THE EASTER EGGS
In a small village, there was a small house. In this house lived an old lady.
She raised a chicken and a rabbit.
The hen had her nest under the stairs and there she laid her eggs.
The rabbit lived loose on the lawn surrounding the house.
The hen clucked every time she laid an egg, and the old lady ran to collect the egg that the hen laid and fed her good food.
The old lady was very fond of the carijó, which had a red crest, yellow paws and colored feathers...
She also liked the rabbit, which had a split lip, big ears and fluffy white fur.
One day, the old lady hears the chicken cackling so loudly and so happily:
– I put it, I put it, I put it! Even the rabbit was startled and had its ears pricked up.
The old woman quickly descended the steps of the stairs, bent down and saw in the nest a very large egg, with multicolored stains. It was so beautiful that she never tired of admiring it. She very carefully picked it up and took it to the kitchen.
She wondered what she would do to him. She couldn't eat it as it was too beautiful and she couldn't leave it as an ornament either, as it might fall and break.
The rabbit that was beside her said to her:
– And if I give it to a child? Easter is coming and for sure whoever receives it will be very happy.
The old lady replied:
– The idea is good, but for which child? I know so many.
She thought for a moment and exclaimed:
– I know, I'm going to gather a lot of eggs from the carijó hen and after painting them I'll give them to all the children.
Hopping and happy, the rabbit said:
– I'll help paint too.
So said, so done.
The carijó hen laid many eggs. The old woman collected them in a wicker basket and, together with the white rabbit, painted them. They were so beautiful:
multicolored, red, green, blue, yellow, purple. Some striped, others with polka dots and even flowers.
On Easter Sunday, the old lady placed them in a beautiful basket and the white rabbit distributed them to all the children in the village.

Easter and the Lamb
Easter is a Christian religious event, normally considered by churches linked to this religious current as the greatest and most important festival in Christendom. At Easter Christians celebrate the Resurrection (victory over death) of Jesus Christ after his death by crucifixion.
Easter is one of the festivals that have more symbols, there are several such as: the Easter Egg, the Rabbit, the Wheat… But, we will talk now about the lamb…
The lamb is the oldest symbol of the Passover, as it is the symbol of the covenant made between God and the Jewish people at the Passover of the old law. In the Old Testament, Passover was celebrated with unleavened bread (unleavened) and the sacrifice of a lamb as a reminder of the great deed of God on behalf of his people: the liberation from the slavery of the Egypt. Thus the people of Israel celebrated God's deliverance and covenant with his people.
Moses, chosen by God to free the Jewish people from the slavery of the pharaohs, commemorated the passage to freedom by sacrificing a lamb.
For Christians, the lamb is Jesus himself, Lamb of God, who was sacrificed on the cross for our sins, and whose blood redeemed us: “by dying, he destroyed our death, and rising again, he restored us to life". And the new Covenant of God made by His Son, now not only with one people, but with all peoples.
