Easter eggs have been traditionally painted red since
the 13th century, as a colour representing life and joy, and
also as a symbol of the blood shed on the cross. Thus, the
colour red reminds us of the sacrificial death of Jesus. It
was only later that Easter eggs were painted in other
colours too.
Christianity adopted eggs as
a symbol of fertility,
resurrection, and eternal life.
John 3:16 
Medieval Christians “For God so loved the
abstained from eating world, that he gave
eggs and meat during
Lent. Eggs laid during his only Son, that
that time were boiled for whoever believes in
preservation then given
as gifts to children and
him should not perish
servants.  but have eternal life.
