Easter egg bashing is a game Russian children play on Easter. One child stands still and holds a hardboiled egg while the other child takes another egg and smashes it against the still egg, the goal being to see which egg survives with the fewest cracks. The winner gets the opponent's egg. The children call out, "Christ is risen!" ("Khristos voskres!") when bashing the eggs together.
I've tried to illustrate this tradition in the card above, although it still strikes me as unfinished somehow. Maybe a "Happy Easter" in the white space between the children would do the trick?
