Easter Greetings to you all!

Orthodox Bulgarians keep alive the tradition of colouring eggs bright red, the symbol of Easter for Orthodox Christians all over the world.

The ritual of cracking the eggs takes place before the Easter lunch. The eggs are cracked after the midnight service and during the next days. One egg is cracked on the wall of the church (and this is the first egg eaten after the long Great Fast). Each person selects his/her egg. The people take turns tapping their egg against the eggs of others, and the person who ends up with the last unbroken egg is believed to have a year of good luck.

Easter Greetings to you all!
