Why did we dye eggs, put them in our baskets with candy and get completely new head-to-toe outfits to wear on Easter Sunday?After Church, we had Easter Egg Hunts. I remember being excited by the creative process of egg dying and have always enjoyed new outfits----but I just don't remember the point of the egg and basket thing at all. Does anyone have this real story?
