Romanian traditional Easter Eggs - here are the decorated eggs (in Romanian they are called “oua incondeiateâ€, “oua impiestriteâ€, “oua inchiestriteâ€). Special instruments are used for decorating them. These take the form of very thin and round sticks and are called “chisita (bijara)â€, “matuf (motoc)†or “festeleuâ€. The “festeleu†is a sharp stick made of beech wood. At one end it has linen or cotton little pieces. The “festeleu†is soaked in melted wax. In contact with the surface of the egg, little dots will appear. The most used decorative motifs for these eggs are: the lost path (on which the souls of the dead walk toward the judgment), the cross, the fir or oak leaf. In Walachia the saw and the plough are also drawn and in Moldavia the lightning and the fork. Various plants, animals and kinds of crosses are also drawn.
