The first egg is dying on Thursday and why it must be red. I suggest you one of the legends on this occasion.
According to the tradition of the first Easter egg, Mary Magdalene served the eggs of Emperor Tiberius and told him about the resurrection of Christ, and the Emperor said it was impossible, and if so, the hen’s egg he held should become red, and it happened. That’s why the red color for Easter eggs is also a basic one.

Thank you for sharing interesting information. I did not know that
I did not know this, very interesting information. That is a pretty egg. I thought it was a flower at first.
This egg is placed before the icon of the Holy Mother Virgin to the next Easter. I will return the visit tomorrow, because I’m going to work after a while.
This is great to learn about for the Easter season.
I’m glad you learned something new and useful.
Thank you for sharing this information. I didn’t know that easter egg has something to do with Easter Sunday.
Next week on Thursday I will show my collection of Easter eggs. Thanks for the visit.
That is really interesting, I didn’t know that about Easter eggs. Mum told us that Easter Eggs should only be eaten on Easter sunday to celebrate life.
Hot Cross buns eaten on Friday.
Glad to know others have more meaning to it.
These NZ supermarkets have Easter eggs and hot cross buns cooked and ready 2 months before Easter arrives.
On Friday, we should not eat something cooked with meat and fish. Some people do it for 40 days before Easter. And it’s called fasting. So they cleanse your body. We also prepare or buy a sweet bread that is called a cozonak.
That’s very interesting That would make sense. The Anglican Church celerbrates lent. They give up something to try to be a better person. The idea sounds good not sure it works for everyone. Fasting can be healthy if you know how to stay healthy I believe but not a church goer
It s good to go if you can and enjoy it
Very impressive. I don’t know anything about the color of Easter eggs.
This is a very exciting and beautiful tradition. The first red egg is placed in front of the Virgin Mary icon and keeps it until the next Easter.
Thank you for the additional explanation, and it is very valuable as knowledge.
In Serbia, the first egg is red in color
I thought the same. We are neighbors of Bulgaria Serbia.
I really did not know this – why the red egg … thank you for an interesting break
I’m glad you learned it from me. Happy Holidays.
You also have nice holidays and a full table of delicacies, dear friend
Yes, I love Easter salad and roasted lamb.
And what is the Easter Salad..I do not know this … in our country the main thing is Easter egg ham and walnut cakes
I have learned something, I did not know of the red egg tradition.
I’m glad you learned something new and useful.
