Easter egg is totally different from boiled eggs
You do not know easter egg is made or marzepan and not just boiled eggs
Please do not make a fool of parsi community
Hi Manchi,
Excellent point.
Marzipan Egg is a wonderful tasty Easter Egg Treat! One can eat it too.
The hard boiled eggs are colored in USA where I live and are not eaten. Hard boiled eggs are hidden and found by children in a game called the easter egg hunt.
Easter egg hunts are open to all communities including our parsi community.
All the best,
Rita
