At first there were only red eggs. Later, women started to paint them in other colors, too, or even to draw various patterns on them.<br />Oh, absolutely, your red egg is a symbol of good luck for you, dear Flossie.

I especially like the one where the whole family shares the first knocked egg to symbolize being strong together. How interesting to learn that red eggs are so prominent in your culture.
