This is a colorful Easter egg. According to an old tradition, eggs are dyed on Easter. A variety of colors can be used. First, the eggs must be boiled. The first egg is usually dyed red. Artificial or natural dyes can be used. Natural colors are harmless and can be obtained from various plants. Turmeric dyes eggs yellow, light onion peels - red, hibiscus - blue. If turmeric and hibiscus are mixed, a green color is obtained. On the day before Easter, on Lazarus Day, young girls traditionally visit health homes and collect eggs. Easter is celebrated in the spring and the date is different every year. Eggs are traditionally dyed on the Thursday or Saturday before Easter. The colored eggs are given to guests and family members and competitions are held with them to see whose egg will be the healthiest, as a kind of fortune telling for health. The winning egg is left until next year. The following spring, it is buried in the ground to ensure a fertile year.
