3. RED EGGS ARE ALSO THOUGHT TO SYMBOLIZE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
Although we all can paint the eggs for Easter in the color we want, it has been tradition for long time ago when eggs were painted only in red, because the red color denotes the divine nature. And the housewife is in charge of coloring eggs.

Easter is one of the largest religious holidays, where all Americans attend a church on Sunday. All mothers and fathers together with their children in the early hours of the morning visit the church where candles are lit for health. Then they return to their homes and break the Easter egg. They set the table and lunch with their loved ones.
The determination of the date for Easter is determined based on the cycles of the moon. Easter takes place the first week after the full moon.
