Find out the real meaning of Easter eggs...
Join us for the beloved Christian legend about the miracle rooted in the Eastern Christian tradition that inspired the Easter tradition of egg-dying.
On a sweltering afternoon on the island of Capri, Emperor Tiberius is tired, bored, and in no mood for visitors. When a poor woman arrives carrying nothing but a basket of plain eggs, he's ready to send her away. But Mary Magdalene — the Apostle to the Apostles — has come with the most important news in the world: Christ is risen. The emperor scoffs. He declares that Christ is no more risen than an egg can turn red. Then, right before his eyes, every egg in the basket blazes into brilliant crimson.
In this episode, your child will:
-Discover the legend behind Easter eggs and why red eggs are a special symbol of new life in Christ
-Meet Mary Magdalene as the bold, faithful woman who carried the news of the Resurrection to the whole world
-Hear a story that beautifully complements Bible readings and Holy Week devotions
-Have a natural jumping-off point for conversations about faith, courage, and believing the unbelievable
This story is written in rich, engaging language perfect for elementary-aged listeners and works beautifully as a family read-aloud during Holy Week or the Easter season. If your family loves Easter books that go deeper than the Easter bunny, stories of Christian saints and heroes, or legends that connect your children to the ancient Church, this one is for you.
