Orthodox Good Friday

I'd rather eat
what a nice picture
We're all busy doing eggs
Wonder if I can do that
On good Friday, it is a Serbian tradition to dye the Easter eggs. It symbolizes Jesus' body as a whole. You should dye atleast one egg red to symbolize Jesus' blood. Then on Easter Sunday, you crack each others eggs, by hitting them together, to symbolize that the tomb has been opened and Jesus has rose from the dead. The kids had alot of fun dying the eggs. Well, Michael did. Zac just wanted to break them. This is the first year that Michael could do the eggs pretty decently by himself. He kept wanting to do more and more. Now we just have to wait for the Easter Bunny
