Easter in OŠ Stjepan Radić

Božjakovina

On 23rd March the students from class 6.e

from primary school Stjepan Radić

participated in the practical lessons in

religion class about Easter.

The students previously agreed to dye eggs

with onion skins, one of the traditional ways

of colouring eggs. This way is justified

because the students from other countries

of the European Union will be able to see

the results of the work .

The students brought eggs, layers of onion

skins, straw, etc from home. The lessons

were held in a makeshift kitchen.

Students put a flower or a leaf on the top of

each egg, then they wraped the eggs with

nylon stockings and at the end they put a

bit of thread around it ti keep it firmly in

place.

We placed each wrapped egg into boiling

water into which we added onion shells and

cooked them for about 10 minutes. Once

dry, we rubbed the eggs with a small

amount of cooking oil. This made the eggs

shinier.

Hardworking and creative girls from class 6.

e made a nice presentation. For a moment it

looked as if we were in a previous century.

With teamwork and mutual help our goal

was easily achieved.

We have shown that we await Easter, the

greatest Christian holiday, with great joy

and love. Also, somewhat defying the new

times we want to show that the old ones will

never be forgotten, and neither will be the

Easter traditions of our country.
