Yes, egg painting is indeed a beloved tradition in Romania, especially during Easter. Known as "încondeiatul ouălor" or "pictatul ouălor," it involves intricately decorating eggs with various designs, patterns, and colors. This tradition is not only a creative activity but also holds deep cultural and religious significance, symbolizing the renewal of life and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The designs often include symbols like crosses, flowers, geometric patterns, and traditional motifs, passed down through generations. These beautifully decorated eggs are then exchanged as gifts or used to adorn Easter baskets.
