Hi mom,

today we made some preparations for Easter. As I told you before here in Greece they celebrate easter this Sunday, because they are orthodox Christians.
One of many things they do is to dye eggs.



They always dye them red, to symbolize the stones they were thrown to Jesus and they were red by his blood.
On Easter Sunday they have a very funny custom involving the eggs (no egg hunt) ... you'll see on Sunday!!!

So if you are into organic and biological foods here is a traditional natural way to dye red eggs!!!

You boil water with skins from dry onions.



and there you have it! Red dye!


A traditional way to make designs on the eggs is by placing flowers and leaves on the eggs, hold them in place with net fabric and tie the fabric with thread.













so here is the result! not bad for a totally natural way don't you think?!



Well we also used red dye from the market for others...
