dyed eggs
Colored springtime symbols
Dyed eggs are eggs whose shells have been colored, typically by soaking in dye or paint.
The practice is most associated with Easter, when families dye hard-boiled eggs in bright colors for decoration or egg hunts: The kids spent the afternoon decorating dyed eggs.
The tradition appears across many cultures, sometimes with elaborate wax-resist patterns.
