Easter eggs painted by Tünde Csuhaj

Happy Easter! How do you like your eggs? The practice of painting chicken eggs, which originates from Persian traditions, was adopted by Christians in the early 17th century to commemorate this holiday, also called Pascha. Hungarian artist Tünde Csuhaj, based in the small city of Szekszárd, has mastered the craft. The internationally recognized egg-painter developed her own etching technique to create lace-like patterns. The meticulous designs appear on all sorts of eggs, including those from chicken, geese, swans, and even emus and ostriches. The intricate motifs of incredible craftsmanship are often shown at national and international fairs and exhibitions. Are you inspired? Grab a paintbrush and test your egg-painting skills.
