Every year, the believers paint eggs before the holiday so that the house there was well-being and joy. But a great holiday in every year falls at different times and you thought when allowed to paint eggs before Easter? Take care of this in the week, which precedes Easter, and what day - we will try to figure it out.

Prayes eggs for Easter in pure Thursday and Saturday

Our ancestors began to prepare for the holiday from Monday by the passionate saddemic preceding holiday. But if you paint eggs on Monday - what will happen to them until Sunday? For this festive preparation, two days allocated for tradition:

• Clean Thursday. Do not take painting egg shell from early morning. First, move the order in the house - run out general cleaning, wash the windows, doors and floors, wrain underwear. By tradition on this day, everyone bathes at home. Then proceed to the bake of cakes and paint eggs.
• Great Saturday. If you have been cleaning all Thursday, and before the painting of eggs did not come to the eggs - do not be discouraged. You can paint them and cook different festive dishes in the kitchen on Saturday from the morning. On Sunday, no one is engaged in this.

Why can not paint eggs for Easter on other days passionate saddemitsa?

In the first three days, the passionate week - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is forbidden to be engaged in economic affairs. Pray at home, go to the temple, follow the rules of the post. In addition, painted boiled eggs early, they will ruin until Sunday.

The most sorrowful day at the week before Easter is a passionate Friday. On this day our Lord was crucified. Refuse all home affairs, fast, pray, visit the church. Priests recommend to refrain on this day from any home work. But if you do not have any other time - do the painting of the eggshell after 15-00. This is the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. But you can hardly want to do homework in such a sad day.

When did the tradition arise to paint eggs for Easter?

This tradition, one of the versions, came to us out of the 10th century. This is stated in the scriptures dated with the tenth century. In the library of the Greek Monastery, they found a manuscript and it says that after Easter service, Igumen distributed monks painted eggs, and said: "Christ is risen!"

If you read the Bible, you know that the tradition of dyeing eggshell appeared even earlier - after the resurrection of the Lord. Maria Magdalena hurried after the wonderful resurrection of Jesus Christ to the Roman Emperor Tiberius to tell the good news. She brought him an egg. But the ruler laughed and said that he would believe in Sunday only if the egg shell changes color. And the miracle happened! The egg shell became Baghro. This shade is not random. He is a symbol of the spilled blood of Jesus Christ for all people.

Chisinau, 5 Apr - Sputnik. The head of the Municipal Public Health Center, Lumitsa Sveuike, told in the comments on the risks that are melting dyes for Easter eggs.

"Personally, I prefer natural dyes - onion husk - eggs are very beautiful golden color. But if someone needs eggs to be scarves, then you need to choose food dyes," said the interlocutor.

According to her, the packaging should indicate that this is a food dye, and also describes the composition and shelf life. The doctor emphasized that it is impossible to buy paint for eggs outside of specialized outlets.

"It is impossible to buy paint for eggs in the middle of the street, on the spoon, when it is not known that we will be seeded. If when cooking cracked the shell and the protein turned around, it can already be said that the paint is not very high quality. In general, it is better to use natural dyes. Some also use parsley leaves , and somehow they still decorate eggs. I recommend natural dyes, "Sveiake said.

How long can I store eggs?

According to her, keep painted eggs can be a maximum of two days. As the specialist noted, it is not recommended to leave them in the refrigerator to the Raduznut (memorial days), since the eggs will be unsestable.

"It is not recommended that the food sees more than two hours on the table. It is undesirable. And in general, it is necessary to be attentive, since now merchants offer various products. There was a post, and now they need to sell the goods. I recommend buying products in authorized places. Pay attention even when buying eggs on appearance Products, "added Sveiake.

How to choose eggs?

• The shell must be integer and clean.
• Protein and yolk must be clean, without any stains.
• Pay attention to the smell of eggs, as they can crawled.
• On eggs should be seals with the production date.

At Easter, it is customary to paint eggs with different colors, but among the multicolored eggs the central place belongs to bright red eggs. Why?

History has kept such a legend. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, his disciples and followers were separated by different countries, everywhere arranged joyful news that no longer be afraid of death. Her won Christ, the Savior of the world. He rose himself and resurrect everyone who believes him and will love people as well as he loved.

Maria Magdalen dares to come with this news to the most Roman emperor tivieria. Since it was not taken to the emperor to come without gifts, and Maria had nothing, she came with a simple chicken egg. Of course, she chose an egg with meaning. The egg has always been a symbol of life: in a strong shell, life is hidden from the eye, which in its hour will break out of a limetle captivity in the form of a small yellow chicken.

But when Maria began to speak to Tiber that Jesus Christ was also escaped from deaths from deaths and resurrected, the emperor just laughed: "It is also impossible, as your white egg turn into red." And did not have time to complete the phrase, like an egg in the hands of Maria Magdalene became completely red.

Since then, in memory of this event, symbolizing our faith in the Risen Lord, we also paint eggs.

The painted eggs are not only served to the festive Easter table, they were taken to give each other all the Easter week. Ancient Egg was a symbol of an emerging and updating life. In this presentation, many customers existing among different nations are founded. For example, in Russia in some localities, the egg was laid in his foundation so that the work was aroused by the builders, and happiness and well-being did not leave his future owners.

At Easter in Russia, painted eggs were taken on a fresh sprouted green oats, wheat, and sometimes on a gentle-green tiny leaflets of the Cress Salad, which specially germed in advance for the holiday.

On Easter folk festivities, games were often arranged with eggs. For example, in the villages "rolled" eggs. Chose a small smooth plot of land, wasted so that it turned out a flat place. In the ground did shallow wells. Each of the participants brought their painted eggs, which laid out on wells. The task of each participant was to roll out the egg from the wells that he liked him - then he became the winner. Eggs were rolled out using a special rag ball with flattened sides similar to the wheel.

Since there was a custom to store eggs for a whole year until the next Easter, with the time the eggs began to do from the tree and paint them with ornaments, patterns. Later, eggs from porcelain, silver with precious stones appeared.

How to cook eggs?

The answer to this question is very careful. First you need to remember several rules.

Never boil eggs immediately from the refrigerator, because very cold eggs that put in hot water most likely burst. Use the timer - trying to guess how many eggs were cooked and constantly reminding themselves to look at the clock. Never boil the eggs for too long (if you do not have a timer) - then the yolks are sparkling and the protein will be similar to rubber. If the eggs are very fresh (less than 4 days), boil them for 3 minutes longer. Always use a small saucepan - when too much space, eggs can knock on each other and crack. Never bring to rapid boil; You need to boil them on medium heat. Remember that eggs have a pillow on the stupid end, where the air is going. During cooking there, the pressure and the shell cracks crack. To It is avoided, pincise the egg from a stupid eye with a needle to go out. Of course, everyone loves eggs prepared in different ways.

I suggest the simplest method Warping eggs, to which you can rely regardless of taste.

Eggs, welded sick, method 1

First of all, you need to pour boiling water into a small pan so that the water exceeds the eggs by 1 cm. Then quickly, but neatly, with the help of a tablespoon, omit the eggs into water one by one. Then turn on the timer and cook eggs when boiling is exactly 1 minute. Then remove the saucepan from the fire and cover it with a lid, put the timer again and measure:

6 minutes to make a soft yolk with a climbing but liquid protein

7 minutes so that it turned out a more dense yolk with a fully frozen protein.

Eggs, welded sick, method 2

Another way that works as well. This time, the eggs need to be put in a pan, pour cold water, put on a large fire and as soon as they boil, reduce the fire and measure:

3 minutes if you want a semi-winged egg

4 minutes so that the protein "grab", and the yolk remained liquid

5 minutes, so that the yolks and protein are welded, but a bright yellow liquid spot remains in the middle of the middle.

Boiled eggs

Put eggs into a saucepan and pour cold water. Bring to a boil, put a timer for 6 minutes, if you want eggs, slightly liquid in the middle itself, 7 minutes, if you want fully welded eggs.

Then it is very important to quickly turn them with cold water. Hold them under running cold water 1 minute, then leave them in cold water until they get cool so that they can be taken by hand - about 2 minutes.

Cleaning boiled eggs Screw

Clear boiled eggs It is also not easy, especially if the eggs are too fresh. Therefore, the number one rule is to boil the eggs at least 5 days after the date when they were packaged. It is easiest to clean them, pre-cracking the shell all over the egg, then keeping under running water, starting from a stupid end. Water cans all small pieces of shell. Then the eggs need to be put in cold water again until they are completely cooled. If you do not cool the eggs quickly, they will continue to boil, digest and the problem of blackened yolk will appear again.

The beautiful coloring of quail eggs makes them an excellent alternative chicken, and cook them just just. Again, they should not be too fresh, and it is better to prepare them in the first method, lowering in boiling water for 5 minutes. Then cool them quickly and clean, as described above.

How to paint eggs

1. For the coloration of eggs, it is best to use a onion husk, which is collected in advance. Depending on the color of the husk painting eggs, it turns out from light red to dark brown. If you want the color to be more saturated, the husks need to take more, and cook it around
   Ca before the decoction to lower the eggs. Almost purple eggs are obtained from the red-bow husks. You can also paint with birch leaves or food dyes.

   So that the eggs do not burst during cooking, they must be held in warm or at room temperature for about an hour, when cooking in water, you can add a tablespoon of salt.

   In some families, the custom of evaporation of eggs "in Krapinka" is stored. For this, wet eggs are chipped in a dry rice, wrapped in gauze (the ends of the gauze should be tightly tied with a thread so that rice sticks to the egg) and then boil in the onion husk in the usual way.

   In order for the painted eggs glittered, they wipe them dry and lubricate with sunflower oil.

   You can cook eggs wrapped with multi-colored threads, then interesting divorces are obtained on them.

   So that the eggs were painted from the inside, and not outside, you need to boil them 3 minutes, then get it in some places to pierce the shell of the needle, and then boil another 1-1.5 in a strong welding with the addition of carnations, cinnamon and coriander.

   To quickly paint eggs, boil them for 10 minutes with some vegetable: spinach (green) or chopped beet (bright red color). For marble effect, wrap the eggs in the onion husk and from above, make some cotton and paper material.

Ancient Egg, since the long-time pre-Christian times, was a symbol of an emerging and updating life. In this presentation, many customers existing among different nations are founded. For example, in the pagan antiquity in some localities in Russia, the egg was laid in the foundation of the house, so that work was aroused by the builders, and happiness and well-being did not leave future owners.

Christians have a painted egg (painted) - Easter symbol.

According to the legend, Maria Magdaline, the first to see the risen Jesus Christ, hurried to inform this message to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Because without offering to the reception to it, it was not accepted, a poor woman took with him an egg as a gift. Allegedly, after hearing the story of Mary, the emperor exclaimed that such a resurrection from the dead is impossible, as it is possible that the egg change its color from white to red - and immediately it happened. Since then, for Easter, it is customary to give painted eggs.

From the history of painted eggs

Wide extension of custom painting eggs There is a simple historical explanation. In Christianity, which began the preaching of Jesus Christ in ancient Judea in the first century AD, during the 7-week great post was forbidden to eat eggs.

But since the nursing chucks did not want to adapt to the church calendar, the eggs demolished during the post, it was necessary to somehow keep them so that they would not deteriorate.

For this, the eggs boiled up at least 20-25 minutes (i.e. sterilized) in the branch of the onion husk. With such a cooking, the onion beam substance fill the micropores of the shell, and such eggs do not spoil for a very long time - the "sterilized canned food" is obtained in the shell impermeable for microbes. (Other vegetable dyes of eggs of such a "preservative" effect do not give.)

So in those long-standing times, when nothing else was known about the microbes and their role in the spurry of the products, people empirically found good way Long save eggs.

After a long 7-week great post, ended in Easter, in a variety of stored painted eggs, Christians were not only used in food, but also crossed their units. Already in early Christians in Judea (Jews) and Egypt (Copts) became a good customary as a sign of the symbol of the Unified Faith to excrete Christian fellow eggs with painted eggs.

Even a custom to store donated painted eggs for a whole year before the next Easter - if there is no very high humidity, boiled with a onion husk eggs are not spoiled, but the tape contents gradually dries and decreases in a few months turning into a small solid glassy ball.

The life of the first Christians, in I and II centuries AD. Heroically fought for independence against many superior legions of the mighty ancient Rome, was severe and selected. If necessary, the dried ball of the saved painted egg could be detailed with water and eat.

As a result, Christian's efforts in 313, Christianity, as a state religion (Elena Elena, and his mother Elena), were accepted as a state religion in the previously fancing with Christians of the pagan Roman Empire). And the first state in history in which Christianity was accepted as a state religion is Armenia (301).

Modern Christians not only serve painted eggs to the festive Easter table: they are accepted to give each other throughout the Easter week - bright weeks (from the resurrection of Easter and until the next Fomina Sunday).

Eggs were rolled out using a special rag ball with flattened sides similar to the wheel.

Painting egg shell wax
(very laborious, but fascinating)

We take a stick with a pencil thickness of 15 cm in length, at a right angle to the stick, we drive from one end of the carnation - the letter G is obtained with the sticking edge of the carnation.

Put on the gas divider, and on it a small metal container, in which heating the wax (the burning candle in the metal candlestick is suitable),

There Makating your "handle" and wax draw various patterns on boiled egg. This is a painstaking job, because Whenever turning short strokes.

Then the wax quickly hardens, and we omit the egg in the paint, divorced in water.

After the egg was painted in this solution, remove and gently wipe the wax with a dry cloth. This procedure can be repeated again, then there will be several colors of the pattern on the egg, but you need to consider that each layer of paint will change the previous one.

- First, wax paint patterns on a white egg and an egg coloring in yellow,
- again draw patterns and egg paint in red;
- draw patterns further and the egg is painted in black;
- After the color of the egg is slightly heated and clean the napkin from the softened wax.
