Easter was an important holiday in Russia where it was customary to give each other gifts. These were often beautifully decorated eggs, as they symbolized fertility. In 1885, Tsar Alexander III commissioned his jeweler Fabergé to create an Easter egg for his wife, Tsarina Maria Feodorovna. Thus, the first Fabergé egg was born.
