Easter eggs in Lithuania 📷

in #easter7 years ago (edited)

There is a very old and widely spread tradition in Lithuania ( and probably in many more other countries as well) coloring eggs for Easter morning. Some of them eventually become just a lot more than a piece of food. Most may end up being never eaten. Because they become like a piece or art.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Some people avoid any artificially made coloring materials, and do coloring as much ecologic as possible. Using natural materials, like onion peel and small leaves or flowers. Like this:

And like with any art sort - only your imagination is the limit:

Some creators are saving their painted eggs, year after year, building a nice, incredible collections:

Oh yes... we have those too in Poland :) But we decorate them on Saturday morning. Now the kids do whatever they please, but when I was a kid we used to colour them with the onion peels and then scrape the top layer off with something sharp, so the pattern is white. And we do have some very old ones kept too :)

Wow creative patterns on the Easter eggs. I love those egg patterns. Yo taken marvelous photography.
