The process of coloring the eggs itself is often a fun time for families to get together and get creative.

In other places, Easter eggs are even held in competitions. These competitions can include coloring eggs, breaking eggs in a certain way, or even cooking creative dishes with eggs as the main ingredient.

While the classic traditions have been preserved, Easter eggs have also undergone innovation and adaptation in the modern world. Today, we can find Easter eggs decorated with various modern motifs, even inspired by popular characters or famous movies.

In addition, with the development of technology, the creation of digitally decorated Easter eggs has also started to become a trend.
