is put on over the red, to hold
whatever pattern is to appear in

The story is told that while
Jesus was being tortured on the
cross, Mary went through the
crowd of prosecutors trying TO
bribe them with a basket of eggs. /
Being unsuccessful in her despair, /
she placed the eggs at the foot of /

After the Nazarene's resurrec-

In each Mofavian, Polish and

out all of eastern Europe, there Is
an old woman who colors the eggs
for a number of families. In Ru-
mania. more generally, each house
wife still prides herself on the
preparation of eggs for her own
household. The designs on the
eggs in the children's museum
collection are very ancient. Their
origin is found in leaf petals, flow

of the small shell, all long since
conventionalized into stars, scrolls
and other figures There are also
innumerable geometric patterns.
The colors are simple and bright,
made in the beginning from dyes
prepaped by the peasants them
selves from herbs, gall and Vege-
table sources. Blue, yellow and
red are the principal hues, though
black is used with distinctive
effect.
The Color Process.
The method of putting the color
onto the egg is quite complicated.
1t is somewhat like the process of
batik. The old peasant woman
first of all, washes the eggs in
sour milk and warns them by the
fire where she has put some wax
to melt. Using an instrument like
wooden pencil with tiny metal
tube at the end, Oh she
picks up the melted wax and care
fully draws lines or rows of points
on the egg, varying the design on
each. If the eggs are merely to
be dyed red, they are left some
time in the dye, and then put in
boiling water, which takes off the
wax, and leaves the white back
ground of the egg shell in it's
place, so that we now have a red
egg with a white pattern. If an
