In the past, in Persian, the mutual reward regular eggs during the spring equinox, which for them also marks the commencement of a new year.

In Christian times, eggs have a religious meaning, namely as a symbol of the rock tomb from which Christ came out to meet a new life through His resurrection.

Now, give us eggs,
green, blue and red;
if not, children will die all your chicken.

Previously, on Palm Sunday, they make small nests of stone, and throughout the Holy Week, they collect as many eggs, store them in their stone nests hidden. On Easter Sunday, they ate it all, share them with other children who are still too small to collect their own eggs.

Adults also gave eggs as gifts in Ireland. The number of eggs that will be awarded is determined according to the ancient proverb among the people of Ireland: "One egg for a real man; two eggs for gentlemen; three eggs to the poor; four eggs for the poorest [beggars]."

Happy easter

Wikipedia :
Easter (Ēostre (Old English); Greek: Πάσχα Paskha, from Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesakh,) is the central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday[2] (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[3] Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on March 21 (regardless of the astronomically correct date), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between March 22 and April 25. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar whose March 21 corresponds, during the twenty-first century, to April 3 in the Gregorian Calendar, in which calendar their celebration of Easter therefore varies between April 4 and May 8.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In most European languages the feast called Easter in English is termed by the words for passover in those languages and in the older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover.[4][5]

Relatively newer elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. There are also some Christian denominations who do not celebrate Easter.

link

A link is the "address" to a document (or a resource) on the web.

Hyperlinks, Anchors, and Links

In web terms, a hyperlink is a reference (an address) to a resource on the web. Hyperlinks can point to any resource on the web: an HTML page, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc. An anchor is a term used to define a hyperlink destination inside a document.
The HTML anchor element <a>, is used to define both hyperlinks and anchors.
We will use the term HTML link when the <a> element points to a resource, and the term HTML anchor when the <a> elements defines an address inside a document.

An HTML Link

Link syntax:
<a href="url">Link text</a> 
The start tag contains attributes about the link. The element content (Link text) defines the part to be displayed.
Note: The element content doesn't have to be text. You can link from an image or any other HTML element.

The href Attribute

The href attribute defines the link "address".
This example defines a link to http://mhabibie.blodspot.com:
<a href="http://mhabibie.blogspot.com/">Visit Habibie's blog!</a> The code above will display like this in a browser:
Visit Habibie's blog!

The target Attribute

The target attribute defines where the linked document will be opened. The code below will open the document in a new browser window:
 example:
<a href="http://mhabibie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Visit Habibie's blog!</a> 

The name Attribute

When the name attribute is used, the <a> element defines a named anchor inside a HTML document.

Named anchor syntax:
<a name="label">Any content</a> The link syntax to a named anchor:
<a href="#label">Any content</a> The # in the href attribute defines a link to a named anchor.

Basic Notes - Useful Tips

Always add a trailing slash to subfolder references. If you link like this: href="http://mhabibie.blogspot.com/html", you will generate two HTTP requests to the server, because the server will add a slash to the address and create a new request like this: href="http://mhabibie.blogspot.com/html/"
Named anchors are often used to create "table of contents" at the beginning of a large document. Each chapter within the document is given a named anchor, and links to each of these anchors are put at the top of the document.
If a browser cannot find a named anchor that  has been specified, it goes to the top of the document. No error occurs.
