Easter holiday. Rites, religious and traditional customs

The origin of red Easter eggsAs much as we try to determine the age from which the custom of painting the egg in red dates, it would be unavailing. Facts mentioned in the oldwritings prevail because they were recorded in written form, otherwise they would have remained forever unknown; beliefs and customs that last for centuries, whose existence we can't establish, for those times, have passed into generations from person to person, from group to group, from nation to nation, and have come down to us.
