Easter chicks and chocolate eggs

One of the ladies in work made these beautiful chicks for charity to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Just had to buy a few.

But it made me wonder why chicks at Easter. Like Rabbits and Hares, Eggs & Chicks are often associated with Easter because, in Pagan times, they were signs of Fertility and New Life. The Early Christians took over the meaning of New Life because it helped them remember the Resurrection and having New Life through Jesus.

Therefore raising money for Cancer Research with chicks is a great way to create new life.
