Jutry

Festival

The largest Sorbian festival: Easter eggs decorated by wax-resist, scratching and etching; Easter water fetched in silence before dawn; and in the Catholic Upper Sorbian parishes the Easter Riding, when men process on horseback between villages. โš  THE EGG TRADITION IS A CRAFT AND A RITUAL, NOT A RECIPE โ€” the eggs are decorated, not primarily eaten.
