Original Easter ideas: we paint eggs for Easter with our own hands

According to tradition, the tradition of painting eggs for Easter is associated with the Roman emperor Tiberius, to whom Mary Magdalene presented as an egg an egg symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus. The emperor stated that it is impossible to rise from the dead and this is as obvious as the fact that the white egg presented to him. At that very moment, in the eyes of astonished Tiberius, the egg changed its color and became red. Since then, Christians at Easter necessarily paint eggs in different colors, supporting a sincere belief in a miracle.

  3. With a wide brush, apply a thin layer of blue paint to the black blanks. Let's dry completely.

  4. Apply the next layer of mint shade. They also cover the entire surface of the egg. We are waiting for complete drying.
