True Meaning of Easter Egg

The custom of having Easter eggs is very widespread, so much so that the Christian meaning has been all but forgotten. Of course, parents should tell their children, these Easter eggs are just symbols of the Risen Christ.

As a chick breaks the shell, when it is hatched and begins life, so does our Lord. He comes forth alive from the tomb. It is a symbolic meaning of a New Creation of Mankind with Jesus risen from the dead. A symbol of joy and celebration and of New Life and Resurrection.
