History/Fun Facts: In 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea decreed that Easter would fall on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox, causing the date to vary each year. In 1878 President Hayes opened the White House grounds to children egg rolling on Easter Monday. The event has been held ever since. During the Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million marshmallow Peeps® - making Peeps® the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy. 16 billion jelly beans are made for Easter (enough to fill a nine-story office building!). The traditional art of egg-painting is called Pysanka, and is Ukranian in origin.
