A day before the brightest of Christian holidays brings in the news of Christ's Resurrection, people are making final preparations to meet Easter holiday.
On Saturday festive cakes are baked and red eggs colored, unless they are prepared earlier on Maundy Thursday.
At midnight people fetch their red-sparkling eggs (symbolic of the blood of crucified Christ) to the Church where the congregation meet together Easter.
The basket of multi-colored eggs is essential on the dining table in every home over Easter along with the special Easter bread, more commonly referred to as "kozunak".
Bulgarian folk traditions say that with the end of Easter feasting days, the longest over the year, lamb, diary and eggs are welcome again on the daily diet.
Some people say that lamb is even obligatory on the table, as Christ himself is considered an Agnus Dei.
