Coloring Eggs Is Easter Tradition Around World vvueii juui uiuiurtm seaiuu ior colored eggs this Easter, they’ll be renewing a custom far older than Christianity. Eges represent the new life that returns to earth every spring — around the time of Easter. The custom of ex changing eggs as part of the celebration began in ancient times. The ancient Persians often dyed eggs in the colors of spring and gave them to their friends as gifts. Some early peoples believed that the earth had hatched from a giant egg.

Germans color eggs green on “Green Thursday” —the Thurs day before Easter — and carry the eggs all day for good luck. On Easter Monday the young people have an egg-rolling con test. In Italy, a priest blesses the eggs on Easter. The eggs occu py the center of the breakfast table, with other dishes arranged around them. In The Netherlands, children go trom door to door during Holy Week, collecting Easter eggs. Young and old alike play games involving eggs on Easter Monday. In Greece, World Book notes, people tap red eggs together as a greeting when they meet on Easter.
