The tradition of staining chicken eggs in different colors on Easter came to us since ancient times.
One of the amazing explanations is associated with the resurrection of Christ, after which one of his followers came to the ruler and brought an egg as a gift. The woman informed the joyful news, to which the ruler reacted skeptical. He noted that rather an egg in her hand will become red than a person will be able to resurrect. So it happened. Before their eyes, the egg changed color.
Nowadays, you can easily buy chemical paints or already ready -made drawings on a thermal clock to decorate the eggs for a bright holiday. But healthy dyes are more healthy. And the process itself with their use is more like magic.
Let's talk about them in more detail in this article.
