Egg rolling is a popular Easter activity in Britain and is usually carried out on Easter Monday – where people across the country will roll their decorated eggs down a hill. Depending on where in the country you are, the winner may be determined by the egg that rolls the farthest, survives the most rolls, or is rolled between two pegs.
A lesser known fact is that the date of Easter Sunday changes from year to year due to the fact it is based on the lunar calendar. It is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon, on or after March 21st.
Now that you have a sure-fire way of working out when Easter Sunday is, in future you will have plenty of time for finding Easter chocolate gifts, baking some hot cross buns and finding a good hill to roll your painted eggs down.
