Painting eggs for Easter is a tradition in Romania, that goes back for centuries. The eggs are canvases on which people portray elements from their daily lives and from their most treasured beliefs. They are not meant as objects of beauty only, but also as sacred objects.
Some of the symbols represented on eggs mean the following: the straight vertical line represents life, the straight horizontal line represents death, the double straight line – eternity, the line with rectangles – thought and knowledge, the undulated line – water, purification, the spiral – time, eternity and the double spiral – the link between life and death.
