Egg rolling

[8] In the United Kingdom the tradition of rolling decorated eggs down grassy hills goes back hundreds of years and is known as "pace-egging".

[9] In Lancashire there are annual egg rolling competitions at Holcombe Hill near Ramsbottom and Avenham Park in Preston.

[14] At the Wordsworth Museum in Grasmere, there is a collection of highly decorated eggs made for the poet's children.

[16] Surrounding events include live entertainment, appearances by White House personalities in Easter Bunny costumes, speeches and book-reading by cabinet secretaries or celebrity guests, and exhibits of artistically decorated eggs.

Rolling Easter eggs was a popular annual custom in Washington, D.C., and Alexandria, Virginia, as early as the 1850s.

Children rolled eggs on Easter Monday (and sometimes Good Friday) at the Capitol, the White House, and other parks and open spaces.

[22] From that year on, the egg roll would be an annual White House event, with the exception of 1917 (moved to the Washington Monument), 1918–1920 (canceled due to food shortages and influenza concerns), 1942 (moved to the Capitol West Lawn), 1943–1945 (World War II), 1946–1947 (food conservation), 1948–1952 (restoration of the White House) and 2020–2021 (social distancing measures to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic),[23][24][25] then resumed in 2022.

In Germany, a prize is awarded to the contestant whose egg rolls the fastest down a track made of sticks.
