Picture: Easter symbols - painted egg and catkins
Easter eggs are specially decorated eggs given out to celebrate the Easter festival. The custom of the Easter egg originated in the early Christian community of Mesopotamia, who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at his crucifixion. As such, for Christians, the Easter egg is a symbol of the empty tomb. The oldest tradition is to use dyed chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute eggs made from chocolate, or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jellybeans.
The flowering shoots of pussy willow are used both in Europe and America for spring religious decoration on Palm Sunday, as a replacement for palm branches, which do not grow that far north.
Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox, Ruthenian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bavarian and Austrian Roman Catholics, Finnish Lutheransand Orthodox and various other Eastern European peoples carry pussy willows on Palm Sunday instead of palm branches.

ReplyDeleteThe (wonderful) video just shows they are attached, not how, & I'm struggling with the concept of glueing string to eggs that are to be eaten. Not that it's important, just curious
Pauli PPariah
ReplyDeletethere is no glue, when we use them as decoration, we make a little hole and blow the egg liquid out. Opening that hole a bit more, it's possible to enter a sort of clip, on which the string is attached. I could not see any glew on these ones, they were nicely done.
These eggs are not supposed to be eaten, just the shell used for decoration.
I would not eat them either with glew on the shell.

ReplyDeleteThanks, I understand now. Who would have invented the egg clip? (Rhetorical question)
Naturpunkt by Gina M. Thank you, dear Gina! (^ ^)

ReplyDeletelOl.... such clips are also of use for other helpful things.
I sometimes wonder too, how many inventions there are, apart from how many...could not get the run with the permissions etc.
