    As we all know that eggs hold unique symbolic importance in many of the cultures. Chinese basically believes that the egg is the symbol of rebirth, new life, and fertility. These Red eggs are a traditional part of the Greek Easter and have a great significance.

    Taking the eggs and matching end to end, as everyone says ‘Christos Anesti’ they patted the ends of the eggs together and that egg which left unbroken will ‘win’. This will continue until the last and the final person had at least one end of their egg intact.
