Lithuanians have their version of decorated Easter eggs.

I've never tried doing them; no artistic talent here. But I have dyed eggs using onion skins. They kind of look like brown marble eggs.

Those are all beautiful. We don’t dye eggs any more. We used to dye yarn with Easter egg dye!

Pisanki (Polish Easter eggs) were the thing in my old Polish neighborhood. There were some beautiful ones for sale in the Polish gift shops.

Grown up, handsome and butch men carrying woven baskets filled with eggs (and what all else I do not know) covered with a white doily to church was a common sight at Easter. It was quite a juxtaposition to twenty-first century eyes.

Egg alternatives...Marshmallows, potatoes, rocks...

With egg prices stubbornly high, the internet has offered up a host of alternatives, with crafters painting rocks and influencers dyeing everything from marshmallows to potatoes.

"Finally a use for B sized potatoes!!" one commenter wrote in response to a video posted on Facebook.
