Easter painted eggs


In the Romanian tradition, Easter eggs are decorated with geometric symbols, plants, animals, anthropomorphic and religious. Here are some symbols and meanings used: 
- Straight vertical line = life; 
- Straight line = death; 
- Double line right = eternity; 
- Line rectangles = thinking and knowledge; 
- Slightly wavy line = water purification; 
- Spiral = time, eternity; 
- Double helix = connection between life and death 
In the past, the colors used are derived from plants cooked. 



Have a blessed Easter!
