On the 12th day of this month our Blessed and God-bearing Father Symeon the New Theologian departed in peace (Synaxari, March).

How beautifully our peoples in the Balkans decorate eggs. As beautiful as possible, so as to decorate Easter, to increase the joy of Easter. To make visitors happier. Sometimes these painted eggs really are works of art. But if these eggs are kept too long, at some stage they’ll go rotten on the inside and give off an unbearable stench.
