Lent symbolic Jewellery
For thousands of years, the egg has been a symbol of new life. At one time, it was a custom in Europe to do without eggs during Lent. Given as gifts, eggs then became a special treat on Easter day. The new life is also a symbol of God’s power. A chick breaking free from the eggshell is one of the wonders of God’s power, and one of the wonders of God’s creation!
The shell was also thought as the rock tomb from which Jesus emerged. Pretty decorated eggs at Easter have been popular for a long time. The Dutch color eggs are thought to be the symbols of better times to come.
