EAGAN, MN— Over a year into the pandemic, restaurants and businesses are beginning to open back up to 75 percent capacity.

Eggs are a symbol of rebirth and fertility, which is a common explanation for why they are associated with the resurrection of Jesus. Another possible explanation is that Christians weren't allowed to consume animal products during Lent, so they boiled eggs to eat on Easter, TIME said.
