Many people celebrate Easter Sunday by decorating, exchanging or searching for eggs. The eggs may be fresh or boiled eggs laid by chickens or other birds, chocolate eggs or eggs made of other materials. Many children believe that the Easter bunny or rabbit comes to their house or garden to hide eggs. They may search for these eggs or find that the Easter bunny has left them in an obvious place.
许多人会装饰、交换以及寻找彩蛋来欢度复活节。制作复活节彩蛋的可以是生的或水煮的鸡蛋或其他禽类的蛋，可以是巧克力蛋，也可以是其他材料制成的蛋。许多孩子都认为在复活节这天，会有复活节兔子来到他们的院子里藏一些彩蛋。他们会去院子搜索，或找那些复活节兔子放在明显地方的复活节彩蛋。
The oldest tradition of making Easter egg is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans for them. These eggs can be hidden for children to find on Easter morning, who may be told they were left by the Easter Bunny. They also may be put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
制作复活节彩蛋的最古老的传统是将鸡蛋染色或是在上面画画，但现在的习俗是用巧克力蛋或者塑料蛋来装满糕点糖果，比如胶质软糖。这些彩蛋通常会被藏起来，好让孩子们在复活节的早上自己寻找。家长们可能会告诉孩子这是复活节兔子留下的。彩蛋也可能放在填满稻草或假稻草的模仿鸟窝的篮子里。
The egg is widely used as a symbol of the start of new life. The egg is seen by followers of Christianity as a symbol of resurrection: while being dormant it contains a new life sealed within it.
彩蛋通常象征着新生命的开始。基督教徒则认为彩蛋象征着复活：蛋中沉封着一个沉睡的新生命。
