Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or spring times. Easter eggs are common during eastertides as they symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus.Though an egg appears to be like the stone of a tomb, a bird hatches from it with life; similarly, the Easter egg, for christians, is a reminder that Jesus rose from the tomb, and that those who believe will also experience eternal life.The custom of the Easter egg originated amongst the early Christians of Mesopotamia, who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at His crucifixion. The Christian Church officially adopted the custom, regarding the eggs as a symbol of the resurrection; in A.D. 1610 by Pope Paul V .
