Traditions

I remember a lot about Easter as a kid. One of my favs.....coloring Easter Eggs! It was a georgous day yesterday, not too hot and not too cool. Ella and I dyed eggs outside. (With my free egg dye...thanks to CVS) She seemed to get the drift much better this year than last year. She had a good old time.

FYI....
Ever wonder how the easter egg came to be famous on Resurrection Sunday?

Since early Roman times and before, people have reguarded the egg as a symbol of new life. As a sign of Christian rebirth, the egg is ideal. What once appeared to be lifeless has sprung into new life. A bird hatching from an egg has been seen as a type of resurrection, evn as Christ stepped out the sealed tomb of death.

Incidentally, in Greece, Easter eggs are dyed red to symbolize the shed blood of Christ.
