The most important feast of the Russian Orthodox
church calendar is Easter. It is celebrated with
the exchanging of eggs and three kisses. The
Faberge eggs began in 1884 with an Easter egg
made for the czar that became a gift for his
wife, Czarina Maria. The egg reminded the empress
of her homeland, and so from then on it was
agreed that Faberge would make an Easter egg each
year for Maria. Faberge designed Easter eggs for
another eleven years until Alexander III died.
Then Nicholas II, Alexander's son, continued the
tradition. It was agreed that the Easter gift
would always have an egg shape and would hold a
surprise.
