WHY DOES EASTER EGG DYE?
When Jesus Christ was crucified, blood flowed from his wounds, a drop that fell to the ground formed a red
Easter egg. His mother Mary stands next to him, praying and crying. Mary's tears drip into this red egg, creating fine patterns.
Other eggs follow. Mary collects all the eggs in a handkerchief and sets out for Pontius Pilate to get permission for her son's funeral. She gives an egg to every child she meets along the way, advising them to lead a peaceful life. When she arrives at Pilate's palace, Mary faints and the eggs in her handkerchief are rolled and scattered all over the world.
Since then, people all over the world decorate eggs at Easter time and give them to each other as a symbol of love and peace.
Therefore, egg decoration takes place in a ceremonial manner.
Before starting the painting process, prayers are said. These prayers are made in order to bring happiness, joy and good luck to the person to whom the egg will be given, and to protect him from evil.
