Our Osterstrauss - German Easter Tree. π£ I just love the little shadows the eggs cast in the evening. The little wooden decorations were bought in Germany...they know how to do decorations well.π
This tradition is centuries old and uses the universally known symbol of the egg as the symbol of new life. Some towns in Germany go all out and decorate trees in their area with thousands of eggs! β‘οΈ Swipe to see one adorned with 9200 individually hung eggs!
As a child I always looked forward to putting our Osterstrauss up with my mum and adding to the collection of painted eggs each year. I'm loving sharing these cultural traditions with my boys too.π
