'Tis the season for eggs!

Pollen is everywhere; the air is warmer; shrubs are bursting with flowers, and there is a sigh of relief from most that winter is behind us at last. The month of April seems to bring the feeling of rejuvenation, as we watch vibrant colors come to life and enjoy longer days.

As Easter approaches and we celebrate revitalization, new life and rebirth, eggs will be a common topic of discussion, as dyed Easter eggs are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tradition of eggs began as a cherished activity in the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches when eggs were dyed red to represent the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross.
