Easter egg trees are a popular Central European tradition and the town of Pardubice has one to make the locals proud this year. Whoever guesses the exact number of eggs on it can look forward to a prize!
The egg is an ancient symbol of life in many countries of the world and the tradition of brightly decorated Easter egg trees is common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Poland, and Hungary. Multi-colored, mouth-blown eggs are hung on branches of trees and bushes and on cut branches inside homes.
While many families decorate tree branches with eggs in the home, not all towns and villages sport Easter egg trees, which require a lot more time and effort.
