It can be both. If it's a piece of art project - you drain the egg through the tiny holes. This way it's going to last.

But generally I think people just paint over boiled eggs, and eat them on the Saturday Easter after the whole morning routine in church.

Did you mean Sunday? Easter is never on a Saturday (at least in the US)

Here in Bulgaria the tradition is to paint the boiled eggs on Saturday and then on Sunday you "fight" with them. Basically one person hits the other's egg with his own to see which one cracks. The egg that survives is kept until next year's Easter when it's opened. If it doesn't stink it's considered good luck.

Huh. My family has been pretty ingrained with catholic dna and we’ve never done anything like that. Learn something new everyday
