eggs! (the third in a series)

up 'til now you probably thought passover was a holiday about escape and the merciless killing of furry creatures..

well, it's really a holiday about this sad life. mourning and rebirth. the bittersweetness of being a jew. all conveniently symbolized with a roasted hard-boiled egg. in one small package, the egg represents the sacrificial lamb (see below), the destruction of the temple (parts I and II), the mourning for said temple (did you know people used to give away eggs in funerals), springtime, rebirth, and life.

ah, egg! so white, so round, and so good.
