Close to Home... Mary Ann Cerullo Break an egg Last Sunday was Easter, a time for family reunions, church, and chocolate bunnies. To some. Easter means shedding those drab winter clothes for white pants and pastels. To others it means staying home by the TV set and watching baseball or Judy Garland singing in "Easter Parade." And let us not forget Easter Egg Hunts: To prepare for this annual event, the eggs must first be boiled. Of course, it is to be expected that dozens will crack and therefore be useless when they hit the hot water. But what does one do with a pile of hard boiled eggs? The next step includes a table strewn with paints, bushes, and children. The result is several pairs of small blue and yellow hands and faces wearing shirts to match, not to mention a few more eggs to add to the pile of casualties. Finally, mothers everywhere can always count on a few that won't be found by the Easter egg hunters. Mothers know that weeks from now those colorful little stragglers will reveal themselves with the dreaded odor of rotten eggs. (Usually behind the couch when company is present.) Why?" Moms cry out from all corners of the earth, "Why eggs??" Why did you ask? Well, I'll tell you why. Eggs are linked with Easter because they are thought to hold the seeds of life. The ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Persians. Gauls, Greeks, and Romans all viewed eggs as symbolizing fertility. Coloring eggs was started by pagans who were yearning for the bright colors of spring. Eventually, Christians extended the custon by dyeing their eggs red to symbolize the blood of Christ. So, Mom. whv break a tradition?
