A typical Slovenian easter egg.

When I first moved here, I found the easter eggs (like the one above) a bit drab compared with the bright, colorful eggs usually found elsewhere, like in Ukraine. I’ve since grown to like them.

As always, every region makes eggs differently here, but here’s how the one above was made.

Hope everyone has a nice holiday — Happy Easter!

    While that is better than any easter egg I’ve ever made, I think it may face some competition from this egg…

    …created by Franc Grom from Vrhnika. There’s a short blurb about it on the National Geographic website.

    Happy Easter!

    Just a curiosity: here in italy we eat chocolate eggs on easter, is it the same in slovenia too?

    Ciao Ciao!

    Michele: Yes, we do the same here. It’s more of a new, commercial thing though, nothing traditional..

    Hi, Michael. My mother’s family came to the U.S. from the Ukraine; we used to dye eggs (pysanky) every Easter and it was REAALLLY time-consuming and difficult. This method seems much better! I don’t mind the vegetable dye colors; I think the muted tones are earthy and warm. Thanks for this post — it brought back some happy memories of Easter at my grandparents’ house.

    In Slovenia in some regions the eggs are called: pisanice, similar to ukrainian pysanky!

    The pisanice from Bela Krajina (Slovenia’s most underrated province) are more intricate and VERY attractive:

    In Prekmurje,"remenke" are made by coloring the eggs and scraping beautiful patterns on them: www.galerija-duo.si/si/index.php?id=11

    What I most miss was everyone even very old people giving each other Easter eggs! That was charming and you had to eat them and have kind of like a contest of cracking the eggs with other people. Bosnian and Croatian eggs can be pretty elaborate, whole families decorate them together. Guests have to be offered eggs and one takes eggs as gifts when one visits too!
