Why do they paint eggs on Easter, how to decorate them?
Not everyone knows why this attribute must be present on the Easter table. According to legend, when the Roman Empire existed, people could come to the emperor with some kind of request and had to present him with a gift. The rich gave generous gifts, such as gold, and the poor, what was on the farm.
When the emperor Tiberius ruled, Marina Magdalene wanted to come to him and tell him about the miraculous resurrection of Christ. But she didn’t have anything to give, only an ordinary white chicken egg. She presented it to the emperor and said that: "Christ is risen!"
He did not believe it, proclaimed that if a light egg turns red, only then he will decide - it is true. And immediately his wish was fulfilled. The egg turned red. The Emperor was surprised and confirmed, proclaiming: "Indeed he has risen!" That is why eggs are painted on Easter, greeting each other in this way and proclaiming the cherished words in return.
- To make the eggshell red, you can use food colors, if they are not at hand, then boil the eggs in onion husks. Beets will also give them the desired color. It is enough to cook them in the remaining broth of this vegetable for 10-15 minutes.
- If you want your eggs to turn blue for Easter, then add red cabbage leaves to the water.
- If you need the shell to turn beige, then use a coffee brew.
- For a rich yellow egg color, use walnut shells or birch leaves. And for a light yellow color, take oranges or carrots.
The photo shows what other vegetables, fruits, berries, spices can be used to obtain the desired shades.
Eggs painted with these natural remedies can be given to children, taken to kindergarten. But it will be even more interesting if patterns appear on these attributes of the holiday.
If you want to paint eggs so that they have a drawing, take:
- food coloring;
- adhesive plaster;
- threads;
- wax candle.
This list of components is given for three types of design of these Easter attributes.
- Cut out the figures you want from the plaster, stick them on the shell. If you use food coloring, then first boil those, then attach these stickers, dip them in the dye solution. Keep there for as many minutes as written in the instructions for it. If you are using husks, then stick the stickers on the raw eggs first, then dip them in the dye solution and cook.
- Do the same with threads. Wrap them over the shell. You can use rubber bands instead of thread. After dipping white eggs in the dye solution, support them in it. Then take it out, dry it, and then remove the elastic bands or threads.
- For the third option, you need to paint on the surface of the shell with melted wax. When you dip such an egg in the dye, the surface will remain white under the wax. Delete it.
And here's how to paint eggs so that they turn out to be interesting colors. To do this, take:
- vinegar;
- aniline food colors;

- onion husks;
- pharmacy greenery;
- gauze.

- Dip the eggs in a saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil, add some greenery, cook for 10 minutes. Then you can leave the eggs in this water, or drain it and pour cold water.
- Remove the husk along with the gauze, wait until the shell dries.

- chiffon or silk fabric with a bright pattern;
- vinegar;
- white cotton cloth;
- water.

- Wrap the eggs in sections of "shedding" fabrics, preferably, so that there are no folds. Before that, you can pre-sew the bags according to the size of the eggs. Wrap a cotton cloth over the top.
