TRADITIONAL FOOD
AT EASTERTIME THE SLOVAK PEOPLE MAKE "HRUTKA". IT IS A COMBINATION
OF EGGS (USUALLY AT LEAST TWENTY), MILK, SUGAR AND SALT. IT IS
COOKED IN A BIG POT UNTIL IT IS AS THICK AS SCRAMBLED EGGS. THEN IT
IS BOUND IN A VERY DENSELY WOVEN CLOTH TO FORM A BALL AND HUNG FROM
A ROPE TO DRIP AND DRY FOR AT LEAST A DAY. IT IS BLESSED AT EASTER
TIME AND RESEMBLES A CHEESE. IT SHOULD BE MOIST. IT IS SLICED
AND EATEN LIKE CHEESE.
Submitter comment:

HRUTKA. IT WAS BROUGHT FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA, AND WOVEN BY HER

GREEK EASTER CUSTOM
GREEK FAMILIES COLOR THEIR EASTER EGGS VERY DARK REDS, BLUES, AND
PURPLES (THEY USE ONION SKINS FOR DARK BROWN). THEY BELIEVE THAT
ONE OF THE APOSTLES WAS CARRYING A BASKET OF EGGS ON EASTER MORNING
WHEN HE WAS MET BY ANOTHER APOSTLE WHO CLAIMED THAT CHRIST HAD RISEN.
THE FIRST APOSTLE REFUSED TO BELIEVE IT AND THE OTHER SAID THAT THE
EGGS WOULD TURN COLORS AS PROOF OF THE RESURRECTION. WHEN THE FIRST
APOSTLE GOT HOME THE EGGS HAD CHANGED COLORS.

EGG CRACKING CONTEST
WE HAVE A CUSTOM IN OUR FAMILY CALLED THE EGG-CRACKING CONTEST.
EVERY EASTER SUNDAY MY UNCLE AND HIS FAMILY WOULD HOLD THIS CONTEST.
THE CONTEST WOULD DETERMINE WHICH PERSON HAD THE HARDEST OR STRONGEST
HARD-BOILED EGG. (THIS CONTEST USED TO BE HELD AT MY GRANDFATHER'S
HOUSE BUT HE PASSED AWAY ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO.) THE CONTEST STARTS
OUT WITH THE PLAYERS HITTING AND CRACKING
COLORED EGGS AT THE POINT OR SHARP
END OF THE EGG. THE WINNER OF A SKIRMISH IS THE PERSON WHOSE
EGG DOESN'T CRACK. THE LOSER MUST GIVE HIS CRACKED EGG TO THE
WINNER AND TRY AGAIN. THE COMPETITION TAKES PLACE IN THE LIVING
ROOM AND MANY CHALLENGES ARE MADE TO THE OWNER OF A WINNING EGG. THE
GAME CONTINUES UNTIL ONLY ONE EGG IS LEFT UNCRACKED. THIS EGG IS
THE WINNER. THE OWNER OF THIS EGG IS THE WINNER AND USUALLY GETS
THE PRIZE OF ONE DOLLAR. WHEN A "POINTS" WINNER IS DETERMINED,
THE GAME BEGINS OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME THE BOTTOM OR FLATTER PART OF
THE EGG IS USED. A "BUTTS" CHAMPION IS REWARDED WITH A DOLLAR
ALSO.
