The source of light and life, the Sun originally had magical meaning and was considered as God in pre Christian times. The star represents success. Stars are represented with even numbers, six or eight points because even number foretells a good fortune. The bird represents spring, good harvest, and the "pushing away" of evil. Often only a part of the bird is included in the design: beak, eye, cone, feet, wing or head. The fruits and vegetables mean not only good harvest, they mean a good life. The designs is used symbolically to beckon all plant life to grow and ripen more quickly. The animal symbolizes prosperity and wealth. This design has a positive effect on farm animals and their good health. The forty triangles on an egg represent the many faces of life: birth of children, weddings, travel, farming, animal husbandry, and strength. In Christian times forty triangles has new meaning; they represent the forty days of Lent, the Forty days of Christ's fasting, and the forty martyrs. The circles protect from evil. Evil cannot penetrate circle because circle has no beginning and no end. Eggs decorated with many circles are used as protection from family betrayal.
