Russian Easter Eggs
Easter eggs are well-known Russian memorabilia whose fame outside of this country is probably second only to painted wooden Matryoshka dolls. Lately, however, the interest toward the Easter egg has been of a special nature. It is explained by its somewhat illegal status for 70 years. Antique Easter eggs were stored away in different museums, almost inaccessible to the public. It goes without saying that in Soviet times the good tradition of giving and receiving artistically painted Easter eggs on the bright holiday of Christ’s Resurrection almost disappeared.
In the late 1980s forgotten customs and rituals returned, including the old Russian tradition of a triple kiss and the giving of an Easter egg.
Easter eggs are an attribute of one of the most important Christian holidays: the day of prayer for the miraculous Resurrection of the crucified Jesus Christ.
