What day do you give Easter eggs on, Good Friday or Easter Sunday?

I’ve always done Good Friday as it marks the end of lent and traditionally is when people used to give decorated hard boiled eggs to mark the end of lent but my husband is adamant it’s Sunday.

I’ve always done Easter Sunday to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection; the eggs represent new life x

Where I live we walk a hill for Good Friday that is a mile up a lot of people like my family walk from longer tho I walk 8 miles there including up the hill and 8 miles back and then we do an Easter egg hunt where we hide the decorated eggs and more on Easter Sunday that’s how almost everyone where I’m from does it

We would normally do Easter Sunday but here Sunday is a work day and as it’s a Muslim country it’s not a bank holiday so my husband will be at work.

So we are doing it Saturday instead! 😊

My mom did Sunday for us kids so that’s what I’m doing as well

The end of lent is Good Friday? I always thought it was Easter Sunday...

Saturday for eggs, Sunday for Easter service

Sunday for sure!! The metaphor of the eggs is like a rebirth and a chick hatching from an egg. Good Friday would be too early! But ultimately it’s just a fun tradition, so do what is fun for your family! It logically makes more sense for Sunday

Sunday. I don’t know anyone who does it on Friday. Friday is just a normal day.

good friend commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and Easter Sunday is the day he was resurrected
