Why do we give chocolate at Easter?
Giving chocolate at Easter is a tradition that has its origins in ancient rites. A symbol of renewal and fertility, the egg was offered in spring long before the Christian era. Over time, this custom changed: in the Middle Ages, decorated hen's eggs marked the end of Lent. It wasn't until the 19th century, with the rise of chocolate, that craftsmen began to make chocolate eggs, which have now become a must-have. Easter chocolate is a symbol of sharing and celebration, a combination of gourmet pleasure and the passing on of traditional skills.
Why do we give chocolate chickens at Easter?
The tradition of Easter chickens goes back centuries. On farms, the hen and her eggs were associated with fertility and the return of spring. This symbolism was transformed into a gourmet custom in the 19th century, when chocolate-makers began moulding hens in chocolate. Today, this tradition lives on and is reinvented through refined, gourmet creations.
