Easter eggs are also called Paschal eggs and are decorated eggs. They are common used during the Easter season. You can have chicken eggs dyed or painted, ostrich eggs, chocolate eggs or plastic eggs.
When you use chicken eggs you hard boil the eggs before dying or painting. Before all this artificial colors, the eggs were boiled in onion peel (brown), walnut nutshell (black), beet juice (pink), etc.
A greater variety of color was often provided by tying on the onion skin with different colored woolen yarn.
In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, Easter eggs are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ and the cracking symbolized his resurrection from the dead.
In Bucovina we have Traditional Painted eggs with Traditional patterns. These eggs are part of the Easter custom and accompany the Traditional Easter foods.
On Easter, you can decorate your house with eggs. You can decorate the trees and bushes in your garden or the wells with eggs.

Thank you. You too
We coloured our eggs last year with red onions and the came out a lovely deep red. Then with sharp tools we etched into the surface patterns – showing up as almost gold in colour. Very pretty. Now I am in France, I think it is a tradition we might try and do here as they look so nice.
Nice!
I love dying Easter eggs, but it takes so long for the more detailed creations. I can’t wait to share this experience with my son when he gets a little older.
Nice!

Wow! So pretty! Did you decorate the eggs by yourself? So talented 🙂
They are pretty. in Bucovina is an art to decorate eggs and not everyone can do it. Those I bought from our local artists.
Greek Orthodox easter traditions are my favourite. I did not realise eastern Catholics also die their eggs!! Can’t wait to start my baking. Καλό Πάσχα!!
Lovely and pretty! Very spring like.
Thank you
Oh, but your eggs are sooo lovely. I just tried the so-called traditional dyes, it was a disaster (ahem…or learning experience). I have no idea how they did it! Thanks for sharing!
It is an art.
Beautiful! That must take a lot of time and patience:)
