2023 Easter - First Day Cover

Small, fluffy, yellow chickens have become such an important element in Croatian mythology that, even when we see them in reality, they are no longer completely realistic creatures. Waving their tiny wings and walking on their clumsy legs, they themselves are a lovely exercise of life – Easter itself. City folks and children mostly see them at fairs, in cardboard boxes, stuffed and stacked one above the other, under the other, next to the other. A cumulative choir of peeping and flapping, a choir in the form of a happiness package. They were simply born and, with them, the world begins. But not only were they born, they also cooperated during their birth; they alone pierced through their space capsule, the shell of their egg. They chose this world, colored it and gave it a sound, and I guess that world is good if they are getting around in it so beautifully.
