The Family Friendly Bridge Hotel London brings you the Easter Egg!

Did you know the largest chocolate rabbit was created in South Africa in 2010 by Harry Johnson? It was over 12 feet tall, and weighed 3 tons. That is a lot of chocolate!

Of course, we know that Easter isn’t about the chocolate rabbits or even the Easter eggs. Easter is one the most important celebration in the Christian calendar because it celebrates the gift of life God gave us that first Easter day. So while we do remember and give thanks for God’s gift this Easter, we can also spread a little Easter cheer  with a few facts about this amazing holiday!

• The word "Easter" is named after Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A festival was held in her honour every year at the vernal equinox. People celebrate Easter according to their beliefs and their religious denominations. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected

• The meanings of the many different customs observed during Easter Sunday have been buried with time. Their origins lie in both pre-Christian religions and Christianity. In one way or another all the customs are a "salute to spring" marking re-birth.

• The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the "Easter Hare", hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. To see the local ones in Chertsey Surrey , just Google “Things to do in Surrey”.The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

• Eggs were traditionally used in pre-Christian festivals as the symbol of new life, purity or fertility. Later customs concerning eggs were linked with Easter because the egg provided a fresh and powerful symbol of the Resurrection and the transformation of death into life.

• Decorating and colouring eggs for Easter was the custom in England during the Middle Ages. The household accounts of Edward I, for the year 1290, recorded an expenditure of eighteen pence for four hundred and fifty eggs to be gold-leafed and coloured for Easter gifts. However, in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals. In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.

Nowadays, on Easter Sunday, many children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them a hunt. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house. Neighbourhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.You can find out locally in Chertsey Surrey by looking up things to do in Surrey this Easter.

The Legend of St. Valentine from the value for money Bridge Hotel Chertsey.

The history of Valentine's Day - and the story of its patron saint - is shrouded in mystery but maybe we at the value for money Bridge Hotel in Chertsey can shed some light on it and so you can share this information with your loved one when spending the night here on our fabulous value Valentine’s Day Package.

We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains remnants of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?

The Catholic Church recognises at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realising the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. That will certainly not happen to you on our value for money Valentine’s Day Package!

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl - possibly his jailor's daughter - who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasise his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and - most importantly - romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France.

So that’s one story of how Valentines’ Day came into existence. But for you the great thing about Valentine’s Day is the chance to enjoy a great meal and with our great value for money offer spend the night in a comfortable hotel with the one you love.

At the value for money The Bridge Hotel we have created the perfect Valentine all inclusive break and menu to ensure your Valentine's Day is really special and one to remember.

Our all-inclusive, value for money, Valentine’s packages are tailor made and start from only £129 per couple and can be taken any night between Thursday 14th till Saturday 16th February.  Our value for money packages include:

•    Overnight Accommodation
