The Story behind the Red Egg:

Eggs are a traditional part of the Easter Sunday celebration. Eggs usually serve as a symbol of creation, spring, and rebirth. They play many roles in the Easter holiday as they may be baked into a Tsoureki (three-braided bread symbolizing the Holy Trinity) or used for decorative centerpieces on dinner tables, but they hold a big role in being the key piece in playing a fun game, Tsougrisma. While this fun game of dying eggs red and cracking them is played throughout the years and has become a custom Easter tradition, its origin holds a deeper meaning and symbol. It is from this story that the custom of Easter eggs is said to have begun.

When Mary Magdalene went to anoint the body of Christ she was greeted by two angels who told her Christ had risen and then was greeted by Jesus, himself, who she spoke with. She went to share the good news of his return and when she had told Emperor Tiberius he had disclaimed her, saying such an act was impossible. As impossible as an egg turning the color red. Then the Egg Mary had been holding had turned a deep rich red color and it had shown that indeed, "Christ is Risen."

Eggs continue to be painted red in remembrance of this event. The red coloring of this egg symbolizes the blood shed in the sacrifice of Christ and the breaking of the shell represents the resurrection and rebirth of Christ in the breaking of the tomb.

I was so impressed with the response time from the business when I sent a few questions before ordering. Then I was even more impressed when my big order arrived within 5 days of placing it. The favors are perfect for my wedding! Such a stress relief that they came all assembled. They are so beautiful too. I cant wait to hear my guests reaction!

Amazing customer service

Terry and her team were amazing to work with for our wedding items. We got married out of town and she coordinating shipping so there would be enough time to re-ship if anything was damaged in transit. Amazing experience and would definitely use them again!

Beautiful and arrive in time, great customer service

I was impressed with the quality and how fast everything arrived. The clothes were already washed and had a wonderful scent. The candles were wrapped very well, came completely fine. I made a mistake with an order the customer service replied and corrected it right away. I highly recommend this service. I have three daughters, a little time away but I know where to look for wedding accessories.

Baptismal candles

The Alexia candles were lovely. Dahlia has an excellent selection and the quality is superb. I looked at several web pages before I ordered from Dahlia. I was very pleased with how quickly I received my candles which were packed securely. At this time, going to a store was not possible so I was delighted to buy online.
