St Bride’s Church holds the annual egg-rolling tradition on Fleet Street, London.

Crowds gathered in London to take part in an annual egg-rolling Easter tradition, which represents “new life” and the resurrection of Christ.

Winners for the furthest roll are rewarded with a chocolate-related gift, according to St Bride’s Church which organises the tradition every year. The church describes the tradition and its yearly Easter Dawn Service as “one of the most evocative and unique events in the yearly calendar”. The image also shows the verger, a person who assists in organising religious services, leading a procession onto Fleet Street as members of the church attempt egg-rolling.
