  • Answer:

    Sometimes, ( to paraphrase Freud) an egg is just an egg. As the weather warms up, chickens start to lay eggs and for a short time we may use them as symbols, but only on a temporary basis. BTW Eggs that you purchase in stores are not fertile since the hens didn't have the benefit of a rooster and would not hatch into chickens. As far as "eating life" goes, Christians do that in the Communion service where the bread and wine are seen by the faithful as the body and blood of Christ.
