I forgot to mention that in Romania they also have the egg fights; the only difference is that the “hitter” must say “Hristos a inviat” (Christ has resurrected) and the “hit” one must reply “adeverat a inviat” (Indeed he has resurrected).
Hungarians bake a similar bread they call Cozonac
Well, I don’t mean to teach you about the Balkan culture. I love your blog as you already know

Happy Easter!
Romanians are mostly orthodox too. In fact I remember that in Transylvania the only people who observed the catholic Easter were the Hungarian citizens. I think the Orthodox Easter in Romania was also observed this past Monday.
I remember fondly those festivities, specially the amounts of food that were served all day long!

Have a nice day

Happy Easter! Years ago when the children were small we used to dye eggs with one of those egg-dying kits. The colors were pale pastels, nothing as vibrant as these. What do you use to dye eggs to make them so colorful?
