Why did the Christians take over so many lovely "pagan" holidays? Like Lupercalia becoming St. valentines day. Which was really celerbrated in the spring and had more to with making birth happen. Can't you just see it now um maybe? I don't know something with like half naked virgins celebrating our ascension out from under the snow and cold. A nice pay-per-view thingy event. Ok so my idea of pagan is just a bunch naked chics. I haven't really studied up on things. And whats wrong with naked chics?
"Before the egg became closely entwined with the Christian Easter, it was honored during many rite-of-Spring festivals. The Romans, Gauls, Chinese, Egyptians and Persians all cherished the egg as a symbol of the universe. From ancient times eggs were dyed, exchanged and shown reverence."
I like the story were eggs turned multi colors better but I think red is just a lot cooler. So this year I will go all red.
"When she tells him the story of the resurrection, he replies that a man could no more rise from the dead than an egg could turn red. Mary picks up an egg and it turns bright red. Icons often depict her holding an egg, and Orthodox Christians still color their Easter eggs red."
Don't got no kids around no more so I wont be making many or else I'd have to extend this receipe.
