Dear Friends,I to have a great recipe for "Greek Easter Eggs".You will need the skins of 11 white onions( not red) the 11 must be some kind of Greek numerlogy don't really know for sure.Anyways about 8 large eggs.Place skins and room temperature eggs in a pot with water about 1 inch above the eggs.Bring to a slow boil for 30 minutes.Cool the eggs and drip dry on a cookie rack.When eggs are almost cool,rub eggs with a little oil on a soft clothe.These are just the most beautiful Golden -Brown color they almost look like wood.Try them you'll be plesantly pleased.

I'm so confused.... I could have sworn that there was an Instructable on how to make an irritrievable Easter Egg. If I'm not just hallucinating, you should put it up....

There is. It is made my the same guy who tricked the entire instructables community, with that diamond in the microwave.

It seemed a shame to have two adjacent vernal equinox guides with only one of them Featured, so I've rectified that. At the same time (speaking as a recovering Catholic :-) it's interesting that this entire guide involves the secular/pagan aspects of the equinoctal celebration, rather than the Christian basis of "Easter" as such. That is not meant as a criticism in any way, just an observation.

I'm an alien and don't even know what the real christian basis of Easter is, which is to say, that I put these guides together from what the Walgreens pharmacy and the tv teach me about holidays. Kelsey - please suggest some more appropriate Instructables to include in this guide as links in the comments and I'll be sure to make the necessary changes. And, thanks for the feature!

:-) Appropriate? I think every one of the I'bles in the Guide is appropriate to the subject, from an "operational" perspective. Phil's I'ble below (almost a guide itself :-) is good, but somewhat broader than just Easter. Within the limitations of the I'bles search, I suspect his may be the only (or one of very few) thological-Easter releated I'bles. It's well researched and clearly written.

I noticed the same thing Kelsey mentioned. At the risk of shameless self-promotion, I recently did an Instructable title A Basic Introduction to Christian Symbols. It contains a lot about the Christian understanding of Easter and was submitted at this time of year because symbols related to Easter begin to appear wherever one goes.

Hey, Phil and Noah. There's a bit of causality violation going on here.

If you look at the Featured I'bles listing, you'll see that Phil's I'ble was published after Noah's Guide.

It would have been rather difficult for Noah to include it, unless he's already built Jake's time machine :-)

Phil B says:

I apologize for not getting around to this earlier. I am a little confused. I published the Basic Introduction to Christian Symbols Instructable on March 21, '09. Noah's guide was published April 7, '09.

kelseymh says:

You're right -- I made a bad assumption above, not noticing that I'bles has changed the way their database generates the "featured" page.

It used to be that on the Featured page, the individual I'bles were sorted and displayed in their order of publication (and so if an older I'ble became featured, no one would see it).

It appears that now (and I don't know how long this has been true) they keep track of the date when the Feature flag itself was applied, and the display is sorted in that order.
