Celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord is my favorite time of year. This year it was extra special for many wonderful reasons, including that we were able to celebrate by coloring eggs from our very own hens. We decided to use dyes from beet juice and turmeric. The eggs dyed with beet juice turned a darker shade of brown. The eggs dyed with tumeric turned a lovely golden hue. These eggs were used to help decorate our Resurrection tree. From the egg, new life springs forth from that which seems inanimate; from the tomb, life bursts forth from death which seems final. Alleluia!
