Here's a quick outline:
https://www.history.com/news/easter-orthodox-easter-differencesExcerpt:
"At Orthodox Christian Easter dinners, along with red-dyed hard-boiled eggs, which are symbolic of the blood of Christ, lamb is typically served. John 1:29 says, "Behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world." Lamb also has a strong Jewish significance, as it was used as a sacrifice and is often served during Passover."

I don't see anything about decorating eggs the way most of us are familiar with and no mention of rabbits. :)
I'm going for turkey & the usual trimmings with pie to finish. That's the plan anyway.
And no red eggs. {{shudder}}
