Norwich Diocese hosts giant Easter egg hunt

From Christian Today-

Easter eggs have been hidden in 50 churches around the Diocese of Norwich in the run-up to Easter.

Members of the public are being invited to find the fairtrade Real Easter Eggs - the only Easter eggs on supermarket shelves to tell the Christian meaning of the season.

Speaking of the eggs, the Bishop of Norwich, the Right Reverend Graham James said: "It is encouraging to hear that many lives have been changed by people receiving a Real Easter Egg.

"It is proof that the events of Easter, including the death and resurrection of Jesus, have the power to open minds, change lives and offer real hope.

"It is also a boost for charitable giving, fairtrade and the work of trade justice. I hope individuals will hunt out a Real Easter Egg this year."

The eggs could be in any of the diocese's nearly 650 churches but the hunt has been made a little easier with a special online map showing participating churches - http://www.norwich.anglican.org/easteregg
