Easter is the brightest day on which the whole Christian church celebrates the Resurrection of Christ. Painted eggs are an important part of this holiday, and the days on which they are painted are Thursday and Saturday. Never paint eggs on Friday, because this is the saddest day - the day Jesus was crucified.
The custom of painting eggs is found in many countries. Since pagan times, they were painted in ancient Egypt, Rome, China, Persia.
The peoples perceived the egg as a symbol of life and the whole universe. The yolk represented the sun god, and the shell represented the white goddess. The whole egg symbolizes rebirth. When the Jews flee, they eat eggs.
This is the reason why there is a fried or boiled egg in the plate on the first night of the Jewish Passover. It is a symbol of the life cycle.
Why should the egg be red? Since ancient times, Christians have seen the color red as a symbol of resurrection. Legend has it that Mary Magdalene greeted Emperor Tiberius with the words "Christ is risen," and he replied that he was as risen as the egg in his hand.
But at that moment, the egg she was laying turned red. That is why she is often depicted on the icons with a red egg in her right hand.
Knocking with eggs is a symbol of breaking the gates of Hell and the victory of life over death. This is the clash of the different worlds and the triumph of good over evil.
Just as red eggs have symbolism, so green ones symbolize something definite. They should remind us of the vinegar and bitter herbs that soldiers give to the crucified Jesus.
The winner of the traditional egg beating will be healthy and happy all year round. Young and old follow this good tradition every Easter, saluting "Christ is Risen", and the answer should be "Truly He is Risen". These words, which were first uttered by Mary Magdalene.
