In Bulgaria the eggs are cracked after the midnight service and during the next days. One egg is cracked on the wall of the church (and this is the first egg eaten after the long Great Fast). The ritua; of cracking the eggs takes place before the Ester lunch. Each person slects his/her egg. Then people takes turns tapping their egg against the eggs of others, and the person who ends up with the last unbrocken egg is believed to have a year of good luck. The traditional Ortodox Paschal greeting is ''Crist is Risen!'' and the answer is ''Indeed He's Risen!''. The greetings are exchanged during the tapping of the eggs,mentioned above: they are repeated 3 times and the actual tapping is after that. Tell me about your traditions during this holiday.

In italy, we say Buona Pasqua, we celebrate Easter with the mess in the church in the morning and at lunch time some boiled eggs or with the traditional chocolate egg or with same cakes as Colomba (peace dove) but in the last years it as became just a marketing holiday, no more religious
