What to eat first on Easter: traditions of the holiday

Easter marks the end of Lent, which preceded it. There are many traditions and beliefs associated with this holiday. It doesn't matter whether a person has observed Lent or not, but Easter should be started in a certain way.

Many people think that you can start celebrating Easter with any dish. But in fact, this is not true. FoodOboz.ua figured out which dish should be the first to be tasted on Easter.

When the whole family gathers at the Easter table, each member must pick up an Easter egg and bang it against the other relatives. The one whose egg remains intact afterwards will be the happiest throughout the year. This egg should be eaten with the Easter cake.

Even if there are reasons why a person cannot eat eggs, they should still be present on the festive table.

Why dye eggs?

Since ancient times, it has been customary to dye eggs for Easter. This tradition emerged after, according to legend, Mary Magdalene presented the Roman Emperor Tiberius with an Easter egg and told him that Christ had risen.

The emperor did not believe her words and said that no man could be resurrected just as the egg Magdalene brought him could not turn red. As soon as he said this, the egg turned red. That's how the tradition of dyeing eggs for Easter appeared.
