Holy Saturday,,
Papa Jim coloring Easter eggs with children. There are many traditions about this. Christian traditions
While the origin of Easter eggs can be explained in the symbolic terms described above, a sacred tradition among followers of Eastern Christianity says that Mary Magdalene was bringing cooked eggs to share with the other women at the tomb of Jesus, and the eggs in her basket miraculously turned brilliant red when she saw the risen Christ.The egg represents the boulder of the tomb of Jesus.[8]
A different, but not necessarily conflicting legend concerns Mary Magdalene's efforts to spread theGospel. According to this tradition, after the Ascension of Jesus, Mary went to the Emperor of Rome and greeted him with "Christ has risen," whereupon he pointed to an egg on his table and stated, "Christ has no more risen than that egg is red." After making this statement it is said the egg immediately turned blood red.

Mimi in her Senior Year Book at Loretto.
This is the cover of Mimi's freshman year book. So far I have scanned in all my kid high school year books with one exception. Jeanni's senior year at Rio. Hint, Hint.
