Description
Pysanky, or wax-resist embellished eggs, are an art that goes back thousands of years in Ukraine and other Slavic countries. Each spring, people decorate eggs to symbolize the coming of spring or the Easter holidays. For millennia, eggs were seen as powerful natural talismans in and of themself, but they were decorated with ancient symbols to bring blessing and protection to the home and the family.
Pysanky are not to be eaten, but are instead placed on the home altar to bless and bring their magic to those who live there. Legend has it that as long as pysanky are being created, goodness will prevail over evil on the earth.
