Easter, is commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is the main event of the Christian year. It is always celebrated on a Sunday on varying dates between March 22 and April 25 .Among the ceremonial festivities and preparation of various foods are the so called “red eggs” which is a must in every Christian home.The legend says that during the Pesach (the Hebrew Passover) Virgin Mary came to see her crucified son. She carried a basket with eggs, which she laid at the foot of the cross while praying for Christ. His holy blood dropped on the eggs and reddened them, and the Lord said:
From now on you shall paint the eggs in red to remember my crucifixion

Now days the eggs are painted in various colours and are manually crafted with different styles making each egg unique, I don’t know how to paint eggs in such an incredible manner. This art, is not taught in schools it’s a folkloric legacy, carried from generation to generation, only in some parts of Romania.
