Easter Eggs

According to the book Festivals and Celebrations, eggs were dyed in ancient times by the Egyptians and Persians, who then exchanged them with friends. "It was in Mesopotamia that Christians first gave eggs to their friends at Easter to remind them of the resurrection of Jesus," author Rowland Purton writes.

If Lent is observed as it was intended to be, eggs are a forbidden food (this is why eggs were used on Shrove Tuesday). Centuries ago, when Lent ended on Easter Sunday, it became tradition for people to give decorated eggs as presents to their friends and servants. Over time, the tradition of painting or decorating eggs has continued, particularly with the Ukrainians and other eastern Europeans known for their beautiful and intricate designs.

The bejeweled "Easter Egg" created by the artist Peter Carl Fabergé in the late 1880s in St. Petersburg, Russia, is the extreme of egg decorating. The lapis lazuli egg is a gold, enamel, pearl, diamond and ruby creation that features a hinged, enameled "yolk" that conceals a royal crown. This crown is also hinged and opens to reveal a ruby egg. Though this Easter egg is not documented among the Russian Imperial Eggs, experts say it was probably created for a member of Russian royalty. Visit The Cleveland Museum of Art: Special Exhibitions to view other intricate and bejeweled eggs created by Peter Carl Fabergé.

I fail to see how an egg reminds anyone of a dead guy.

Hal's theory is much more bbelievable

My mom, in her infinite wisdom, moved form eggs to imported beer a few years ago. Hard boiled eggs just stopped getting the kids excited, I guess. Now she decorates 6 pack holders with that fake green grass and the whole family searches for brews in the yard. (We hide some cans of Ensure for Grandpa) I'll try to post some pics.

I made them in photoshop a few years ago for an article on www.prehensile.com. I figure the Christ that I believe in had a sense of humor.
