This is totally incorrect. I can't believe you actually buy this tripe.

Easter eggs come from the Easter bunny. Duh! Everyone knows that.

Do you have a source or is this all your speculation?

..and if you are just speculating, it would probably be more accurate to reference the boiled egg eaten during Passover as a symbol of korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was given in the temple.

The challenge with the speculation above is that I’m aware of, only the Eastern Orthodox church bans eating eggs during Lent, the Catholic church doesn’t.

Lent itself is pagan in origin.

I have also read and was told by one priest that all the eggs were died red — for the blood shed during the Passion.

On the inside the white of the egg represents the purity of Christ.

And the yolk of yellow represents the sunrise of the Resurrection of the Lord.

I was not ever able to verify this, but it seems to have some legend legs.
