Lithuanian coastal town spruces up with record-sized Easter egg

The main street of the Lithuanian coastal town of Palanga has been spruced up with an Easter egg of impressive size. The egg is decorated with bits of amber. The town will also attempt to set a record by holding a championship of Easter-eggs rolling on a 16-meter-long path.

The amber egg was created last year by a local artist Albertas Bukauskas, who used 15 kilos of amber for decoration.

10 two-meter high and 1.5-meter-wide Easter eggs, decorated with authentic ethnic patterns have also been installed on Palanga's main Basanavičius Street. An Easter-egg decoration school will also be opened for the festive period.
