The Bird - was once believed to be the reincarnation of a dead love, or more recently the messenger of love.

The Stag or Antlered Deer - was a symbol of strength, maturity, health, and good looks.  This motif was used for young men in hopes they would become strong and viral as the young deer.

The Radiating Designs, the Sun and Daisy -
were symbols of good fortune.

The Chrysanthemum and Carnation - symbols of love and weddings

In Czechoslovakia, Easter was the most joyous holiday of the year.  Young people from the farms carried their eggs in baskets with the greeting "He has risen!" and the reply "He has risen indeed!"  The most beautiful egg painted by a boy or girl was saved for their special, best loved person and was often considered a pre-engagement symbol.  Eggs were exchanged by everyone as a symbol of love and friendship and of good things to come.

As time went on, the monks migrated over the Carpathian Mountains and taught the peasants about Christianity. As they learned of Jesus, their ideas changed, as did some of the meanings of their motifs.

In the way that motifs were used as symbols, they also used color symbolization for particular things.
