What color are Greek Easter eggs?

While many other nations mark the Easter holiday by decorating multicolored eggs, the traditional Greek Easter egg is dyed a solid red color. This deep red can be said to have a variety of symbolic meanings, including a reference to the color of life and triumph as a celebration of Jesus' resurrection, which is, from the Christian perspective, the main point of the Easter holiday.

Members of the Greek Orthodox Church may take Easter very seriously as an important Christian holiday, and as such, their eggs may be more focused on the religious significance of the holiday. The red color may also be a reference to the blood of Christ as a reference to Jesus' pre-resurrection death by crucifixion.
