L a d y b u g , The Egg As Symbol L a d y b u g The egg has been called "the most perfect thing in the universe". It is considered the symbol of eternity, posterity, rebirth, mystery and magic. Eggs have been buried under buildings to ward off evil. In 18 th century France, a new bride traditionally stepped on an egg before crossing the threshold of her new home. In 1883 the Russian craftsman Faberge was commissioned by Czar Alexander III to create a perfect egg-shaped jeweled surprise for the Czarina and over the next several decades Faberge designed several dozen more; the "Faberge eggs" now rank among the world's most precious treasures. Begin your own collection today of these "most perfect things". "Wh e r e d o Ba b i e s C o m e Fr o m ?"
