Easter Egg Dye - Red - Krinos

This package contains 1 color: Red

Makes 30 eggs total.

Hard-boiled eggs, dyed deep red to symbolize the redeeming blood of Christ, are a Greek (or Eastern Orthodox) tradition at Easter. The egg is further symbolic in that it is an emblem of the Resurrection: it contains life motionless; in like manner, after being motionless in the grave, the resurrected come forth with new life. On Easter and the following week, the general greeting ''Christos Anesti!'' (Christ is Risen!) and the reply ''Alethos Anesti!'' (Truly He is Risen!) are heard among the faithful.
