Jeff related an interesting story on the way to church about our red-dyed eggs. No pastel colors for Greeks - Easter eggs are always dyed red, the darker the better, to signify the blood of Christ. But here's another story.
After the Ascension of Jesus, Mary Magdalene greeted the Emperor of Rome by saying "Christ Has Risen". He pointed to an egg and stated, "Christ has no more risen than that egg is red". As soon as he said that, the egg turned blood red to represent Christ's passion and death. Alithos Anesti (Truly He Has Risen)
