This month’s question was what does the egg symbolize to Christians? To quote from our source, the egg is “a long-standing symbol of the Resurrection because of the way the chick breaks through the shell at birth.”
The question (& answer) were found on p. 58 of Outward Signs: The Language of Christian Symbolism by Canon Edward N. West. The book was published in 1989 by Walker & Company.
