In Greece you can buy packets of red egg dye. I haven't tried dyeing eggs red in England, so don't know if cochineal will produce the same effect.
I have seen Greek children knocking red eggs together, as though they were conkers.
Eating out over Easter, you may find red eggs on the table. And you can buy a sweet Easter bread / cake made of plaited dough with red eggs baked into it.
Happy Easter!
