On Holy Thursday, eggs are dyed red by the blood of Christ that dropped from his face when he was crowned with thorns.

The egg is a symbol of life.. and in case of the Resurrection, it symbolises the resurrection from the dead.Therefore, the ratting symbolises the exit of life!!

We use seaweed to dye the eggs!!!

Hello everybody I’m Katrīna from Latvia, here’s how my easter went. :)

In my household it is traditional to go on a easter egg hunt on the morning of easter Sunday. It’s always a lot of fun, because the eggs can be hidden in the most bizarre places.

In Latvia there’s an old wives tale that says “if you swing on easter, then mosquitoes won’t bite you all summer long”. My dad and godfather did just that, they went swinging. It was quite amusing to see two grown men having a blast whilst swinging.

Also Latvia has another speciality for this holiday. You might remember about ‘pīrāgi’ from the food presentation in the Latvian virtual mobility. And easter is one of the holidays where we bake them. This year I helped my mom in the making of them. When we eat them on easter we usually pair it with a cold glass of birch water. (If given the opportunity)

Hey, Happy Easter. This year in our household wasn't different and was a lot of fun. We colored some eggs and met up with my grandparents. This year we decided to colour eggs in 2 different methods - with onion peels (pictured in the top bowl) and with blueberries (bottom bowl). I loved it, had so so so much fun :)
