More Crystal Eggs
One side of this traditional Faberge styled glass egg is decorated by an engraved nihtingale sitting on a busket with roses and singing about the Christ`s resurrection. The Cyrillic letters XB, first letters of the traditional Russian greeting at the Easter, are hand-engraved on the other side of the egg. This marvellous egg on a bronze stand has been created in the Faberge style by a contemporary craftsman at the famous Russian glassware factory "Macgrav"
Crystal Egg with Angel
As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy.
