Have you ever wondered why we dye Easter eggs each year? It actually is a Catholic church tradition that has flourished into a popular Easter tradition for many families who do not practice religion.

The egg symbolizes the tomb Jesus was buried in and the dye symbolizes the blood of Jesus. The egg cracking also has symbolization of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.The "egg cracking" also known as the resurrection, symbolizes the actual holiday of Easter.

However, people of all religions dye Easter eggs. It is a fun activity for people of all ages to take part in. The whole family has a good time preparing the eggs, dye, and dipping the eggs. The whole process is very easy.

All you need to do is boil water, one teaspoon of vinegar, eggs, tongs, and food dye.There are many different ways to decorate the eggs. Easter eggs can be solid, striped or polka dot. If you're feeling really creative you can add jewels, beads, lace, string, or ribbon to your eggs to make them extra festive.

Personally, it was one of my favorite holiday activity growing up. Everyone got so into the activity. All the siblings put on their big messy t-shirts and picked our favorite dye and started the process. My whole family would usually dye our eggs the classic blue, pink, and purple. However, we did like to add beads and ribbon to make them as crazy as possible.

The origin of dying Easter eggs may not match up with many families pink, purple, and blue food color dye, but it is a fun holiday tradition for everyone to participate in. Whether your family goes to church or not, coloring Easter eggs is an activity everyone will enjoy.
