In Sveti Nikole we have an unusual and unique tradition for celebrating Easter.
Every year at the International Slavic University “G. R. Derzhavin “is held an Easter contest in Egg tapping with ostrich eggs.
Competitors from Sveti Nikole and the children of the employees of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Macedonia took part in this eighth competition in R.Macedonia.
In a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, the participants measured the mastered techniques to break the opponent’s egg. The winner of this traditional contest is Elizabeta Babkina from the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Macedonia, which with her ostrich egg weighing more than one kilogram, beat other competitors.
Ostich eggs are boiled for at least 2 hours and they replace over 20 chicken eggs.
