Hence, Easter has come! The Easter egg acts as a symbol of the springtime festivity alongside the Easter cake and cottage cheese dish. The egg represents existence, revival, and the tradition of adorning eggs for Easter has roots in ancient history. According to folklore, Mary Magdalene presented the first Easter egg to the Roman ruler Tiberius to announce the miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ. In a different story, it is said that the Virgin Mary established the practice of coloring eggs to entertain the young Jesus Christ.
The shade of an egg is defined by its dye, and the color itself carries meaning: red is a noble tone, representing God’s love for humanity, while blue signifies the Blessed Virgin, invoking compassion, hope, and affection for others. White is a celestial tone that indicates purity and spirituality, while yellow, akin to orange and gold, signifies prosperity and plenty. Green, a combination of blue and yellow, symbolizes growth and renewal. Multihued and embellished eggs create a festive spirit and serve as the essence of Easter celebrations. Everyone delights in participating in activities related to Easter eggs, especially children. It’s a moment for artistic expression. Let’s gather paints and brushes. Change each egg into a work of art.
