[QUOTE="PT Stewie, post: 5874440, member: 12889"] Is any one surprised ? According to many sources, the Christian custom of Easter eggs was [B]adopted from Persian Nowruz tradition into the early Christians of Mesopotamia[/B], who stained them with red colouring "in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at His crucifixion". Eggs represent [B]new life and rebirth[/B], and it's thought that this ancient custom became a part of Easter celebrations. In the medieval period, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real treat! [/QUOTE]
