Herb Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Celtic Easter egg everyone knows the Celts didn't observe Easter.

bdevey Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) You may have to do some homework here, but i'm thinking chalk with flint, and or flint filled fossil burrows. Good luck Edited September 3, 2014 by bdevey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
