My culture and tradition is a bit more bright and colorful and Trypilljan. Call me a pagan, if you'd like.

Since the earliest of times people have sought meaning for life’s mysteries and in the process have found the need for worship. One of the earliest objects of worship for primitive man was the sun and in Ukraine, eggs were an integral part of the ceremonial rites of sun worship. The ancient Ukrainians determined that when an egg was broken the yolk represented the sun and the white the moon. Beeswax was considered as a magical ingredient of the writing process. This was entwined with the sun cult. The wax was made from honey; the honey was collected from flowers; flowers grew because of the sun. The egg became part of various ceremonies and took on a particular significance in the spring rituals. In winter Earth was dormant and appeared to have no life, just as the egg appeared to have no life. But as the seemingly dead egg hatched a living thing the earth too sprang to life in spring. Consequently, the egg became a symbol of life.

Good luck with your beliefs and traditions. [for the record I did not write all the stuff you just posted/referred to; nor am I going to click on your blog, thanks anyway.;)]

I posted some simple, easily checked proofs that the blogmaster’s deductions are wrong. What is silly is that most could actually check it up before writing, but they don’t seem to want to check their facts before shooting off...
