The symbolic meaning of the egg has preserved itself in various rites and myths since prehistoric times. The fact that the egg has no corners and protrusions, as well as the ability to carry live, has made it the leading actor of various ceremonies.

It is also a food that a pregnant woman should/should not eat, the first gift given to a baby in her forties; it takes its place in cultural life as a tool used when removing forty and treating forty flushes.
