  • A woman holds a handful of painted eggs, Hurghis, Bucovina, Romania. In Christian Orthodox countries such as Romania there is a tradition of skilfully painting eggs before Easter. In the villages of Bucovina, the egg painters use a tool called a kishitze, a stick with an iron tip, to apply molten wax in the desired pattern to a blown egg. The egg is then dipped in the lightest colour dye to be used. The egg is then heated and the protective wax melts away and a new pattern can be added, then dipped in a different colour and so on.
