Easter Egg Roll

What is the Easter egg roll and what is it played?

Easter egg roll — The Easter egg roll is a traditional Easter game wherein people push eggs down a hill or along the ground with spoons or their hands. The objective is to determine whose egg goes first or floats the farthest without falling over. This is a popular outdoor activity, especially for children, which happens on Easter Sunday. The world’s most widely observed Easter egg roll is held at the White House in Washington DC, which has been doing it for more than 100 years. The game represents the rolling of the stone from Jesus’ grave to celebrate his resurrection and victory over death. It is a fun way to enjoy the season, encouraging family togetherness and outdoors activities, as well as supporting the renewal and rebirth of Easter.
