Great Egg Toss Day 2023: Great Egg Toss Day occurs annually on September 6. The holiday honours the sport of egg-throwing. Did you know that there is a world championship for egg toss? Yes, although most individuals find it hard to believe, there is a sport known as ‘egg throw.’ Not terrible, yes? Traditionally associated with Easter in the United States, egg toss is now celebrated throughout the year. So let’s examine how this game is played and other fascinating egg tossing facts.
The HISTORY OF GREAT EGG THROWING DAY
Egg tossing is a straightforward and enjoyable game played in teams. The regulations of the two-person game are simple: one player must toss an egg to the other. There are two roles in baseball: thrower and catcher. The player who throws the egg is the tosser, while the other player is the catcher. The competition begins with players 10 metres apart. If the egg does not break, they separate and retry the toss.
The game continues until one egg remains intact. Therefore, you must ensure that the embryo remains intact at the conclusion. The history of the game of egg throw is fascinating. The game is said to have originated in the Lincolnshire village around 1322. In mediaeval times, the only individual with chickens encouraged church attendance by distributing one egg as alms.
The egg-throwing festivals would be conducted at the church during Easter. During those times, the cleric would distribute hard-boiled eggs to the congregation, which were then thrown around the church’s nave. The choirboy who was holding the egg when the clock struck twelve was granted ownership of it.
The World Egg Throwing Federation is the authorised governing entity for the world championship. Since 2006, the World Egg Throwing Federation Championship has been conducted annually on the last Sunday of June in Swaton, England.
So why not appreciate this tradition-rich, messy, and entertaining game?
