MAIN Home Life Holidays Easter Easter Egg Dyeing & Decorating

Centuries before it became an Easter tradition, the egg was already the subject of folklore & superstitions in many cultures, and viewed as a symbol of renewed life and rebirth among ancient Romans, Chinese and Egyptians.

In medieval times, coloring eggs was brought to a high art when English kings dispersed hundreds of decorated, gold-leaf eggs throughout the royal household at Easter.

Another royal, Russian Czar Alexander, was later responsible in 1883 for commissioning the famous Faberge eggs - from goldsmith Peter Carl Faberge - as an Easter gift for his wife, the Empress Marie.
