The Easter Celebration

Rahul studied at St. Joseph's School, a school based on Christian beliefs. Rahul was a Hindu by religion. Students of all religions studied in Rahul's class. They enjoyed many festivals and learnt about each other's cultures in this way.

One day, Rahul noticed posters with colourful eggs and lighted candles on the school boards. He had enrolled it the school that year, and apart from Christmas, did not know about any other Christian festival.

On asking, his friends told him the posters had been put up to celebrate Easter, which fell in March this year.

David was his best friend. On Wednesday, Rahul went to David's house to play games on David's computer.

After a few games, David brought out some empty eggshells and started painting them.

While playing the game, Rahul's attention shifted to David, who was absorbed in colouring. Leaving the game aside, Rahul asked David about something he had recently learnt-on Easter, people gave coloured eggs as gifts.

David remained silent momentarily, continued colouring the egg, and said, "Rahul, I'll tell you as much as I know.
