Color Eggs with natuial dyes from the Garden

摘要

Brightly colored eggs were often given as gifts by the ancient Greeks, Persians and Chinese at their annual spring celebrations. Early Christians gave decorated and dyed eggs as a symbol of Jesus' Resurrection as early as the Middle Ages to friends, family and servants on Easter Sunday. Our German ancestors then brought this tradition of coloring "Easter eggs" to America and interestingly, it didn't really take off until after the Civil War.
