Chocolate Easter Eggs at Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota

Thursday, March 21, 2024

Easter, a Christian festival, marks the Resurrection of Jesus on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. In 2024, Easter falls on March 31. Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota will host its traditional brunch at Castanyoles, coinciding with this significant occasion celebrated by billions worldwide, which also embodies the joy of children.

Hand-Decorated Eggs and the Egg Hunt

Easter, a time that marks the end of Lent, combines cultural traditions with religious rituals. During this period, festive foods such as eggs, ham, bread, savory dishes, and candies are consumed. Eggs, in particular, hold special significance as they were traditionally forbidden during Lent. They symbolize the rebirth that comes with spring each year, echoing the themes of renewal and resurrection central to Easter.

One of the most cherished Easter traditions is the decorating of eggs, a practice that can be traced back to the Middle Ages. This activity remains popular, especially among children, throughout the month of March. While some still decorate traditional chicken eggs, chocolate eggs have become increasingly popular. These eggs, along with plastic eggs filled with candies or chocolates, are often used for egg hunts and as gifts.

At Castanyoles, the pastry team is embracing this tradition with their signature hand-decorated chocolate eggs. Each egg is meticulously crafted, with different patterns, colors, and themes, making them a delightful treat for the Easter season. Available in three sizes, these chocolate eggs are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the pastry team.

In addition to the egg decorating, Easter Sunday at Four Seasons will be filled with festive activities. The restaurant will be decorated, and special brunch menus will be offered, accompanied by music and games. One of the highlights will be the Easter egg hunt, a beloved tradition where children search for hidden eggs. Regardless of their success in finding eggs, each child will be rewarded with a signature Four Seasons chocolate egg, adding to the joy and celebration of Easter.
