In which month would you most likely find an Easter Egg Hunt? April is the usual answer. Easter is a moveable Christian feast, so its date changes each year, but in the Gregorian calendar it falls between March 22 and April 25. Because Easter Sunday most often occurs in April, Easter egg hunts are especially associated with that month.
The egg is an ancient symbol of new life and was later incorporated into Easter customs. In Christian tradition, the egg also came to represent the empty tomb and the Resurrection. Children’s egg hunts developed as a popular seasonal activity, with decorated eggs hidden outdoors or indoors for participants to find.
March is also a possible month when Easter falls early, so April is not an absolute rule. The quiz asks when an egg hunt is most likely, however, making April the conventional and fairest answer. Chocolate eggs, painted eggs, and plastic eggs filled with treats are now common variations of the tradition.
