yeah but on this one the Roman Catholics were more inventive and a lot of the symbolism actually works like rolling hard boiled eggs to symbolise the rolling away of the stone from the tomb, the Simmnel cake has the 12 apostles and Christ on it etc even the marzipan has a symbol forgotten what it is though. Lambs and Chicks are a symbol of rebirth and new life
