The Symbolism Behind the Eggs
Easter is filled with meaningful moments—from pastel baskets and decorated eggs to quiet reflection and joyful gatherings. One of the oldest and most beautiful traditions is dyeing eggs, which dates back centuries.
In many
Christian traditions, eggs represent the resurrection of Jesus, with the shell symbolizing the sealed tomb and cracking it open symbolizing new life.
Some cultures even dyed their eggs red to represent the blood of Christ and the joy of the
resurrection.
Today’s colorful designs may be more playful, but they still carry the spirit of hope, joy, and celebration.
If you dyed real eggs, remember to keep them refrigerated if you plan to eat them—just like any other hard-boiled egg.
As long as they’ve been stored properly, you can
enjoy them in all sorts of ways: chopped into egg salad (I love adding curry powder to my egg salad!), sliced over buttered toast with herbs, or turned into deviled eggs for a springtime snack.
A simple egg can hold deep meaning—and some tasty
possibilities, too.
