The rituals associated with them, symbolizing the birth of life. The Jews had a custom, when they go to visit someone to donate a gift to the host. If the guest were very poor, he donated an egg.

• According to Christian tradition, when Mary Magdalene went to Rome to meet with the Roman emperor, following this custom, she gave him an egg, which was dyed red, symbolizing the blood of Christ. Since then they entered the custom of Christians to give away painted red eggs at Easter. Gradually they began to use other colors.
