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.
