Easter is an important festival of the Russian Orthodox Church, and ordering eggs is a traditional Easter activity of the Russian royal family.
The first royal egg was born on Easter 1885. At that time, Tsar Alexander III ordered an exquisite egg from Karl Gustavovich Faberge, a royal jeweler, to make his wife, Queen Maria Fedoroff, laugh. Queen Maria was very satisfied with the egg sculpture presented by Alexander III, so the czar appointed Faberge as the "court supplier" and entrusted him to make a unique and amazing Easter egg every year. His son Nicholas II continued this tradition, giving an egg sculpture to his wife Hesse and Berein and his widowed mother every spring. From the birth of the first royal Easter egg in 1885 to the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 19 17, Faberge made eggs almost every year, and this kind of egg sculpture gained great fame. It is known that Faberge also made 15 egg sculptures for private customers.
