Host Johnnette Williams welcomes new age researcher & blogger Sue Brinkmann as they talk about wacky things that distract from the faith. This week they discuss if coloring Easter eggs is a pagan ritual.

Sue say no. The egg can be seen as a symbol of the sealed tomb from which Christ emerged after his resurrection. Christians in Northern Europe have been painting eggs in bright colors at Easter for centuries with the first edition of the Roman Ritual, dated 1610, containing a special blessing for the eggs.
