Traditional easter eggs in Bela krajina

Pisanica - Easter Eggs of Bela Krajina

The eggs that are made in Bela Krajina in this period are of a special kind that is found nowhere else in Slovenia. Making an Easter egg takes time. The right tools are required, as are design skills deriving from the tradition. In the middle of the last century, the leading Slovenian ethnologist Dr Niko Kuret wrote that 'richly decorated Easter eggs are a genuine Slovenian custom that is not found among either the Germanic or the Romance peoples.' The people of Bela Krajina have developed a special technique for decorating eggs using wax.
