I found out where the boiled egg thing came from. I never knew until just this month. There's all these rumors of it having to do with being a fertility symbol and all, but it was much more practical than that. People would give up some of the richer foods, like meat and eggs, during their Lent fast, but would eat them once a week on Sundays, which were not considered part of Lent. So the eggs would keep until Sunday, they'd boil them.

But yeah, there's lots of weird things around Easter traditions.
