HOW MANY EGGS SHOULD BE COLORED FOR EASTER?

Easter is one of our happiest and most joyful holidays, symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus Christ, while Good Friday is the saddest day for Christians as Jesus was crucified on Golgotha.

HOW MANY EGGS SHOULD BE COLORED FOR EASTER?

On Good Friday and Holy Saturday, eggs are colored, most often in red to symbolize Jesus' blood but also joy. It is well known that the first egg is called the guardian egg and it stands throughout the year to "guard the house" until the next Easter.

Everyone sets aside eggs for coloring according to their needs, but did you know that as a rule, only 33 eggs should be colored?

The number 33 symbolizes the number of years Jesus was crucified.

Customs date back from ancient times, passed down from generation to generation, but this important part has somehow been lost somewhere, and rarely does anyone color exactly 33 Easter eggs today.

However, it is important to know and certainly make an effort to respect the tradition.
