Easter traditions in Estonia
Easter traditions in Estonia
Easter traditions are rather young in Estonia. Our grandmothers took the eastern
habits from BalticGermans without taking over the meanings painted eggs just
seemed so beautiful. So for us, their grandchildren, painting eggs has no connection
with religion traditions. It is more like a way of expressing one's creativity. We use
different colors and techniques: painting with herbs, watercolors, markers, special
colors etc.
There aren't any certain patterns to use, everyone can do it any way they like. We
also give colored eggs as presents to friends and children are cracking the eggs.
