Description
Holy Easter Greeting. Lituanian text
-----
This picture is designed as a Lithuanian Easter greeting card for those living outside the native country and looking for cards with Lithuanian text on them.
-----
"Su Šventom Velykom" means the same as "Happy Easter" only with emphasis on it beaing a holy, sacred holiday "May you have Holy Easter". It's a traditional Lithuanian way to wish Happy Easter to everyone.
-----
The card also shows a couple of traditional Lithuanian methods of decorating/ dying Easter eggs. One of the oldest and completely natural/ organic way is to soak or cook eggs in onion shells in order to get this nice brown color. Ornaments are atchieved by tying leaves of weeds to the egg before soaking/boiling. Usually hyou'd need to wrap everything into the piece of fabric/ cloth for that.
