Bulgarian Easter - Easter is an Important Holiday in Bulgaria

Easter in Bulgaria is a strongly celebrated holiday. Red, the predominant color of Bulgarian Easter eggs, is a part of pagan mysticism that pervades Bulgarian culture even today. Red Easter eggs are baked into an Easter loaf, may be blessed at the church, or may be cracked against each other to see who will be the most successful, healthy, or happy during the following year. These Easter eggs have been decorated with Orthodox designs and symbols and differ from Polish Easter eggs.
