Easter is, above all, a time of joy and celebration of the resurrection of Christ, which is very important in Polish culture. It is also an opportunity to cultivate rich traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. Some of them are an opportunity for great family fun. One of them is decorating Easter eggs, which are an integral decorative and symbolic element. Before you reach for artificial dyes, check out natural methods.

A symbol, but also an opportunity for creative fun. Create your own little works of art
Easter eggs have a long history and symbolize many different things, including new life, fertility, hope and rebirth. It is worth adding that their connotations are still related to pagan rituals, although their meaning fits perfectly into Christianity. Eggs were a symbol of spring and the rebirth of nature after a long winter. Thus, over time, they also became a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and their fanciful patterns symbolize joy and hope.
Decorating Easter eggs is as deeply rooted in our country as decorating the Christmas tree. And it is worth ensuring that this tradition is continued, because it is very creative fun for both large and small home artists. There are a lot of artificial dyes on the market for painting eggs, but a fantastic idea is to use vegetables and spices. We can see some magical ways on the blog. Bordeaux Easter eggs can be obtained by soaking the eggs in a broth made from red onion husks. They turn blue if we soak them together with cooked, shredded red cabbage.
The author also shows a very intriguing way to obtain Easter eggs with a lunar texture by placing them in a hibiscus decoction. The effect is truly spectacular! The intense yellow color can be obtained by boiling eggs in water with ground turmeric (2 teaspoons per liter). Interestingly, the green color can be achieved if the Easter eggs are cooked in turmeric and then placed in a red cabbage broth. The author of the @@food_square blog also showed a technique for the effect of plant decorations. All you need to do is place leaves of e.g. parsley or dill on the eggs and wrap them tightly in gauze or a stocking. Place the small package in the selected dye infusion. As longer as better!
