The ritual exchange of Easter eggs appeared thanks to Mary Magdalene, which was presented as a gift to Caesar Tiberius red eggs with the words "Christ is Risen! " As Christians, learn about the salutation of Mary Magdalene, also began on the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ to paint eggs and give them to each other. But Ukrainians have gone even further, they not only painted, and painted eggs. About ancient traditions of folk art read more in Women's Magazine.
Why "Easter egg"?
Easter egg called "Easter egg" due to the fact that it is painted "the letter" - signs, ornaments and symbols, which are fraught with something miraculous, mystical. But, as scientists say, the word "write" is very old and has not only the meaning "to put signs on the subject", and "to determine the nature of the subject, which cannot be seen only through its external perception". In addition, the word "write" the same root as the word "motley", which had a value of "red", "bloody". And as you know, in all the ancient languages, including the language of the Bible, the word "blood" means life. Thus, it is possible to come to the conclusion that our ancestors, putting on a chicken egg some red marks, thereby meant it as a subject, which, although it seems from the outside cold and dead, and even similar to the stone that holds the secret of life, the main immortal substance, which we call the soul.
But scientific thought does not stop. Red, as the researchers say, is decisive for the Easter eggs because during experiences and shame the person's face becomes red and ashamed, the man understands that he has committed a sin, and thereby renounces him, repents, purifies the soul.

In addition, not just paint eggs. Reading cosmogonic myths, you can come to the conclusion that the first was still an egg, not the chicken, because the world in which we see it today, arose from the so-called cosmic egg, which symbolizes the sky and the earth, and the underworld. Thus, the egg is the beginning, this is life.
The characters that carry the secrets of the ages
The figure for Easter eggs is applied not just because it carries a certain message or a wish. Putting certain characters, you agree to adjust their fate, bring her what you are missing. For example, "beskonechnikh is a symbol of harvest and long life, fish health, flowers, fertility, sheet strength and endurance.
Irina Farenik engaged in the eggs for three years. She told me that it is best to draw this year:
"In my opinion, this year for man the most important thing is health, strength and material wealth. Therefore, eggs should portray characters such as fish (a symbol of health and longevity), pine (symbol, which treats), oak leaf (symbols of strength and endurance), deer (symbol of prosperity, wealth). Do not forget about the color, because it also plays an important role. For example, yellow symbolizes wealth, and blue - health. By the way, when the Easter egg draw for a specific person, then be sure to take into account his age, occupation, marital status. Using these characteristics, it will protect that person from evil".
Julia Fatihova just learning this complex craft, but for several years already clear, as should be action:
"For Easter eggs no matter the year or the time when she is done. The importance of the emotions, the feelings, the mood, you sit down at a small "canvas" and begin to create. If you do the Easter egg for someone - you need to think about this man that you wanted him. In his Easter eggs I often draw "beskonechnikh". It is very simple in writing, but is a symbol of the sun, life and the world. We should always remember that what you draw on your egg, depends what you call in your house. So, drawing a deer or a fish, you invite into your house health and longevity. But guelder rose leaf means courage, strength, confidence, self-control".
And pisanica Hope told about what the characters are the strongest:
"On the Easter eggs were always depicted figure, ornament, pattern in this area. The strongest characters are antique ornaments - "beskonechnyi", circles, geometric patterns (the simpler the pattern, the more he is older). Before painting the Easter eggs was a great ceremony, during which it was impossible to quarrel, angry, angry. Painted Easter eggs are only a few people in the village. And if the egg broke, it wasn't just throw his buried".
