It has been a whole week since Holy Week. Last monday, called here Dilluns de Pàsqua (Pasque Monday) any godfather will visit their godchildren to give them the Mona de Pàsqua (Pasque Monkey):
Type of cake with many shapes. Normaly decorated with some painted hard-boiled eggs or xocolat eggs. It's normally eaten in Pasqua Florida (Flowered Pasque, the first Monday after Holy Week)...
From Enciclopèdia Catalana - mona (in catalan)
We had our mona: a chocolate egg big as a rugby ball. Such a delicatessen that still survives after a whole week and, side by side with the morcilla that my parents gave us, will be quite valuated by my arteria. ;)
I must also say that there is no ONE Mona de Pàsqua, but a lot of different types. Just take a look on Wikipedia's article to check the difference with the other definition I showed before:
Wikipedia: Mona de Pascua (in spanish)
And, finally, I'll say that these agges on the monas must have something in common with easter eggs of these other countries:
