At Easter clink red eggs and say “Χριστός Ανέστη” in Greek

At Greek Easter we dye red eggs. The red color symbolizes Christ’s blood and the egg itself the resurrection, the new life. During dinner, we clink them (crack them together). The one who taps the end of his/her egg lightly against the end of the other’s egg says “Christos Anesti” (“Christ has risen”) and the other responds: “Truly, He is risen.”
