I love traditions! And since we are a mixed family with different roots, we have and celebrate a lot of them at home!
One of our favorites is the Christian Orthodox Easter. That celebration comes from my Bulgarian roots…

Each year we celebrate this special day with typical food and of course with an Egg battle, also known as Egg tapping. To do this we need many colored eggs that must be prepared on Holy Thursday or Saturday. We enjoy coloring the boiled eggs making sure that we have a lot of them! At least a couple of dozens of eggs will do. The first one must be always on red…!

The red egg has is own representation and importance on Christian tradition. Then we can play with the colors and always run short on eggs, as this is so fun to do!
On Easter, everybody takes his favorite egg, called “buriak” and then must “face” the eggs of the other members of the family and friends…. The one who will remain intact will have good luck and healthy during all the year.

My kid loves this game, we laugh a lot and we have a great time altogether “fighting” with our eggs…

I look at him and remember myself at his age, filling my pockets with cheerful “buriaks”, some salt in a napkin, going outside to battle with the other kids in my neighborhood.

At the end of the day, the streets of the entire neighborhood were covered with plenty of little pieces of colored eggshells…
It was fascinating and still is!
