Okay, Isabela started with the idea of posting Romanian Easter eggs, so here is my contribution (you can stop reminding me now...) ;D

As some of you might be aware of, not everywhere Easter is celebrated at the same time. We Catholics had our Easter five weeks ago, now follow the (Romanian) Orthodox. For me, being Catholic, living in Romania, this results in two "Easters" (and I don´t even eat eggs...)

Romania has many different styles of decorating eggs, and to be honest, the Romanian eggs are among the most beautiful ones I´ve seen anywhere. I like most the ones I´ve chosen for this photo, covered with wax in different colours, mostly made in the northern parts of the country, the Bucovina, close to the border with the Ukraine.

So, happy Easter to everyone who celebrates at this time of the year!

Dear Johannes,
Around this time last year, while browsing through the TE photos, I learned that Christian Orthodox faithful do not use this word to refer to the celebration of Christ's resurrection. Instead they stick with the traditional word "Pascha". I obviously knew that we use it in Romanian and also knew that Catholics in France or Italy use the same word, but hadn't bothered to find out the correct translation into English. I was simply using what the media feeds us. Meanwhile, I checked that out and I got the confirmation. As an example, the faithful of the Orthodox Chrurch of America call this celebration Pascha.
All the best,
Iulian
