Easter coin - A Little Miracle
It’s a chicken and egg situation. Which came to symbolise
Easter first, the chicken or the egg from which it emerges? Whatever the
correct answer, there are few better metaphors for the new life and rebirth
associated with spring and Easter than the sight of a fluffy little chick using
its beak to peck a hole through the shell of its egg.
An ancient symbol of fertility, the egg was a feature of
pagan festivals celebrating spring. For Christians, Easter eggs are
thought to represent Jesus rising from the dead. But eggs were also eaten
by the ancient Persians and Egyptians when celebrating their New Year, which
took place in spring. For the chick, the egg is the final step on its journey
to our miraculous world; a journey it makes unaware that it is part of that
miracle itself.
