History of Easter eggs: From blood red to multicolored

History & Meaning of the Easter Tradition

What would Easter be without the vibrant display of colors in the nest? The tradition of dyeing eggs is centuries old and deeply rooted in our culture. But did you know that the first Easter eggs weren't colorful at all, but exclusively blood red? We delve into the history of color and show you how to give this aesthetic a modern interpretation in 2026.

From the red of kings to colorful diversity

  • The first red: Originally, eggs were dyed red to commemorate the blood of Christ and life. Red was considered the color of victory and vitality.
  • The Middle Ages: Yellow (for light), green (for hope), and blue (for loyalty) were added later. The egg itself has always been a symbol of resurrection – hard and lifeless on the outside like a grave, but containing hidden life.
  • Lent: Since eggs were considered "liquid meat" during Lent and could not be eaten, they were hard-boiled to preserve them. To distinguish them from fresh eggs, they were marked with colored dyes.
