Why has the Easter egg become such an important symbol of Easter?
Since the Middle Ages, the egg has been a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christian theology. From the outside it seems cold and dead, but inside new life is growing. The egg symbolizes the tomb in Jerusalem from which Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter Day. Christians from the Eastern Churches often decorate the egg with Christ waving the victory flag. Popular sayings say, for example: “Like a bird crawling out of an egg, Jesus broke the tomb.”
