Where did the Easter egg hunt originate?
i had a professor that told us the true origin was an offshoot of the crusades through ireland by french knights. The crusaders would bribe children with food or money, to tell them all the farmers who practiced the pagan tradition of burying a blue egg in their fields with their wishes written on it,for the spring season ,that supposedly brought fertility to their crops, the soldiers would then show up at the farms of those found with eggs buried on their property and were executed for practicing pagan rituals.
