Eggs are traditionally connected with rebirth, rejuvenation and immortality. This is why they are often associated with Easter. On a more practical level? In the early Christian calendar eggs were forbidden during Lent. This made them bountiful and exciting forty days later. Easter eggs are sometimes decorated with bright colors to honor this celebration. Russian Pysanki is one of the most elaborate forms. Conversely, the abstinence of eggs is associated with Lent.
Thanks everyone for dropping in to view a small piece of me and my colorful and rusty world.
