Long considered a symbol of new life and rebirth, pre-Christian cultures used eggs at spring festivals to commemorate the transition out of winter. The early Christian Church adapted these traditions to the story of the resurrection. Regardless of its genesis, the Easter egg, and the hunt, have become firmly nested in Christian and secular cultures at Eastertide. The Youth of First Cong have carried on this tradition, and after a three-year hiatus, will again fill the Dining Room with colorful, treat-filled symbols of the resurrection.
