Painting Easter eggs on the Holy Thursday

In South Tyrol there is a tradition of painting eggs for Easter, such as eating speck and Schüttelbrot.

Eggs are hidden in homes to be searched and found by children.

Even families on holiday in South Tyrol at Easter have a chance to live together with children, this South Tyrolean tradition!

Parents can help children to paint their eggs. It will be fun to paint eggs together, dirty with the paint and laugh joyfully. No matter what the outcome, what counts is being together.

In South Tyrol eggs are painting using natural colors, derived from plants such as beets or spinach, is a matter of taste! The important thing is to use eggs from home, not only because they are healthier, but also because the shell is often more suited to be more colorful.
