The Easter Eggs are painted during the week before Easter, being specific for the Orthodox / Roman catholic Church. The habit of considering the egg as a symbol of rebirth belonged to the pagan religions. When Christianity started to spread, those traditions were kept, especially because they suited the beliefs of Christians. This way, the red Easter Eggs symbolize the blood spilled by Jesus Christ on the cross. Soon, the methods used to ornate the Easter Eggs diversified. Even if Red remains the main color of Easter Eggs, they can be engraved and decorated with the most interesting elements!
