It’s interesting what the tradition is to give each other for Easter painted eggs went back to the times of Emperor Tiberius, to whom, after the resurrection of the Lord, Mary Magdalene came to preach about Him, to which the emperor told her: “If the egg in your hand turns red, I will believe.” Mary took the egg in her hands with the words: “Christ is Risen!” - and it turned red. Today we paint eggs in memory of a miracle that happened many centuries ago. Onion peels The oldest and most popular method of painting eggs for Easter. When I was a child, my grandmother had cast iron, tightly packed with husks, which produced beautiful dark orange eggs. The intensity of the color directly depends on the amount of onion peel in the solution. You can diversify this coloring by wrapping the eggs in cloth or putting a leaf (parsley, dill, basil) in gauze, then an unusual pattern will appear on the egg. Tips for dyeing eggs: An hour before dyeing, remove the eggs from the refrigerator so that they reach room temperature. In this case, they will not burst during cooking. brilliant appearance You will get colored eggs if you wipe them dry after painting and rub them with vegetable oil. Pour water into a saucepan and add onion skins. The red-brown color can be obtained by taking the peels of eight onions and adding two glasses of water. Based on this, you can calculate the amount of water and husk for a specific case. The water with the husks should be brought to a boil and boiled for 30-40 minutes. Let the broth sit. The broth should be filtered, freed from the husks, and the prepared eggs should be boiled in it for 7-10 minutes. To obtain a more intense color, the eggs can be returned to the broth and left until they acquire the desired shade.

The gravitational field of the Moon has a noticeable effect on the biological fields of all living beings, and plants are no exception. Depending on what phase the Earth’s natural satellite is in, the direction, concentration and activity of the biological field changes. This pattern was established by our great-great-grandfathers through many years of observations.

The gardener's lunar sowing calendar is compiled based on periods lunar month and the zodiac sign that the satellite is passing through.

During the new moon, work on caring for cultivated plants (except for watering), as well as their sowing, picking and grafting is prohibited. It is better to devote these days to fighting weeds and cutting out malicious growth.

The waxing moon is ideal for transplanting fruit and berry crops, cuttings and fertilizing. During the full moon it is not recommended to do pruning and pinching, but for collecting seeds, removing fruits and harvesting medicinal herbs such days are favorable.

On the waning Moon, it is recommended to harvest root crops, dig up bulbous crops, and cut flowers for sale. All these recommendations are based on the effect of the Moon on vital energy plants, for example, the growing Moon stimulates an upward flow of energy from the roots to the fruits, and during the waning Moon this flow descends into the root system.

The presence of the Moon in a certain zodiac sign affects the condition of the soil and affects a certain group of plants. Thus, the growing Moon under the auspices of Taurus is favorable for sowing most vegetables and flower crops, and the Moon in Gemini is suitable only for ornamental shrubs and climbing plants(roses, vines, wild grapes and hops).
