Coloring eggs dates back to Egyptian times, where using colors to alter the color of eggs (eggs were a sign of life and re-birth) was used to indicate certain emotions and wishes, and used for festivities.

Easter eggs symbolize spring and fertility. This comes from the ancient Celts May 1st celebration of Spring. When the Catholic church converted them they used the traditional celebration times but made them Christian calling them Christ Mass and Easter.
