Traditional Greek Easter Eggs (Kokkina Avga)

A staple of Greek Easter celebrations, these vibrant red eggs symbolize renewal and the blood of Christ. They are traditionally cracked against each other in a fun game called "tsougrisma."

This special technique, passed down from my mother, uses leaves and flowers to create beautiful natural patterns. It’s a fun and creative activity, especially for kids!
