why Eggs can not be thrown away (or still can?) and how best to use it in the household.
Egg shells are a very useful and even necessary thing in the household. However,
how to use the shell We'll talk a little bit later, and now we need to figure out if you can throw it away after the holidays.
People believe that all week after Easter on the roads, among the common people, Jesus wanders with the apostles. Therefore, it was impossible to throw out the shell of the eggs consecrated in the temple, because it was possible to anger the Son of God. People tried to bury or burn the shell, and some took it to church.
The priests are skeptical about this. After all, we only call those foods that we bring from the church consecrated, but they do not become saints because of this. The consecration of foods is rather a blessing to eat this food after Lent, but nothing more. Therefore, a chicken egg consecrated in a church is not considered sacred, nor is its shell.
Therefore, the clergy say that you can throw out the shell without conscience. However, it is recommended not to throw out church candles: it is better to burn them or take them to the church. A candle is what is directly involved in prayer.

After Easter, shells, as a rule, remain quite a lot. It can and should be used to benefit you. If you stained eggs with the help of natural dyes (carrot juice, onion husk), then the shell can get the maximum benefit. For example, to compensate for the lack of calcium in the body.

Our ancestors revered the old traditions, so home amulets were important for them. For example, the shell of consecrated eggs was made a talisman for protection. Egg shells were crushed with their fingers, poured into a red bag and carried with them. It was believed that such an amulet can protect against misfortune and disease.
To protect the dwelling from evil and evil spirits, the sprinkled shell was kept in a box. They also made an amulet for good luck. To do this, grinding the shell with their fingers, the sentence was: “How many small parts – so many successful days.” Then put the shell in a piggy bank or purse. Ancestors believed that this would help bring luck and wealth to the home.
