Locals start to grow Easter grass one week before Easter Sunday, i.e. on Palm Sunday. Grass is another essential attribute to the Georgian Easter table – jejili – newly grown, grass, which is a symbol of new life and renewal.

Fresh green wheat grass grows i in your home, after which Easter eggs can be put in the grass and placed on a table. We believe that green grass symbolizes the new life Christ gave us with his resurrection
