"Norouz" is coming!...

this is my favourite !

I love the purple too :)

My family is Ukrainian, and these look a lot like Ukrainian easter eggs.

classic persian colours

Very similar to traditional Lithuanian Easter eggs near Veliuona - in ornament and color

Similar to Latvian symbol of "Auseklis" (personification of Venus, Morning star) coming from the ancient Baltic religion.

I want this one

"Norouz" is coming!... by alirezanajafian.

"Norouz" is the name of Iranian's new year .our new year starts with the spring and painted egg is one of stuffs used as a symbol of norouz.

Ali,
Can I use your photo for my blog (non-commercial, with attribution)? I would like to point out the custom of colored eggs for Norouz, which is very similar to the Bulgarian custom of colored eggs for Easter. I am going to provide a link to your page if you agree. Thanks! Elena
