According to Romanian mythology, the Earth is shaped like a disk. On the other side of it live Blazhins – anthropomorphic creatures who respect God and fast all year round and thus provide people with a great service.
Celebrating Blazhin Easter is a way to repay them for the good they bring. Since the Blazhins are not in contact with our world, they cannot know when Easter will come. Therefore, Romanians eat colored eggs and let the shells go downstream, from where it will fall into the world’s oceans, and then to Blazhiny.
