The traditional "Easter Workshop" will be held from April 23 to 26 in the Ethnographic Exposition of the Regional History Museum - Pazardzhik. Specialists from the ethnographic department of the museum will demonstrate traditional techniques and ways of decorating Easter eggs, common in the area. 

Decorating eggs with a pen and wax is a centuries-old tradition preserved in the region. The museum informs that each visitor should bring a boiled egg, beeswax and a household candle and under the expert guidance of the ethnographers, they will be able to dye an egg according to the old traditions.
