Easter Egg Origin

I’m Egyptian descending from a Coptic Orthdox family so today is our Easter Sunday.  In Christian tradition, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first 

full moon. The thing about decorating eggs on Easter Sunday goes all the way back to 

Ancient Egypt as it was used to celebrate Spring. At the eve of the Spring Festival Pharaohs carved on eggs some supplications in black the gods in order for the god to answer them. As the hieroglyphic letters were composed of birds, animals, plants and some geometrical figures, some believed them to be a model of the Egyptian art regarding egg decoration. The idea which was then transferred and followed by different peoples around the world at the spring festival. They colored eggs with bright colors made of natural elements such as parsley, green onion, the boiled beet and Pomegranate extract for coloring eggs with red , natural colors made of some flowers for coloring eggs with blue , and with yellow by soaked dry onion leaves are all one of the main aspects of marking Spring Festival by ancient Egyptians .
