Spring Egg Painting

It's that time of year again, where eggs will rule the supermarket shelves. Eggs are a big deal this time of year because of course, Easter, but what is behind their symbolism?

In Christianity, eggs represent the Resurrection of Christ, in the way a new life emerges from an eggshell. Get this: in the Orthodox tradition, they are painted red to symbolize the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. This egg coloring has continued in modern secular nations. I have chosen the light blue color, akin to a robin's egg.

My adoration of the egg shape is for two reasons: the asymmetrical aspect, the oval, and the fact that they represent potential or renewal. What's not to love? ❤️ Cynthia
