Day 16 of Lent: Why do we have Easter Eggs?
What do Easter Eggs have to do with Christ rising from the dead? The practice of blessing Easter eggs actually came from the practice of giving up dairy products during Lent. Since you couldn't have eggs during Lent, they became part of the Easter morning tradition.
LENTEN CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:
Try offering up dairy products for the day (if you already don't eat dairy pick something else). As you fast from this offering, ask Christ to renew your love for him.
