Modern-day Sorbs, an ethnic minority in Germany, are descendants of Slavic tribes that settled in the region around 1,500 years ago. They have a rich cultural tradition, particularly notable during Easter when they create beautifully decorated eggs using techniques that date back to the Middle Ages. This process involves applying dyed eggs with dots of coloured wax to form intricate patterns, and can take from 90 minutes to six hours. Today, approximately 60,000 Sorbs live mainly in Saxony and Brandenburg, continuing their vibrant cultural heritage.
The fascinating tradition of Easter Egg decoration among the Sorbs has roots that extend back to the Middle Ages, where intricate designs are achieved through a meticulous application of coloured wax.
Modern-day Sorbs, descendants of Slavic tribes, have maintained their unique cultural practices for over 1,500 years in Germany, specifically in the regions of Saxony and Brandenburg.
