Eggs painted in one color,are called krashenki, and those painted with ornaments or plot patterns are called pysanka. The classic pysanka is a complex way of painting Easter eggs, which uses wax, steel pens or hooks, and special paints. But along with traditional painting methods, there are many simpler and more original methods of painting an egg. Even kids can paint Easter eggs with watercolors, gouache, or markers. You can also use watercolor pencils, corrector, felt-tip pens, gel pens, and other standard writing instruments. Painting and decorating eggs for the main Christian holiday, Easter, is a long-standing tradition. One of the versions-legends says that when Saint Mary Magdalene came to Emperor Tiberius and told him about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the emperor did not believe it and said that it was as impossible as a chicken egg turning red. At that very moment, the chicken egg he was holding in his hands turned red, confirming Mary Magdalene's news. Other versions date the origin of the tradition back to pre-Christian times.
