Spend some time this Eastertide learning about and crafting your own beautiful Easter egg!
The art of making Pysanky, also known are Ukrainian Easter eggs, has been handed down through many generations. These brightly colors eggs are decorated using beeswax and dye, applied in layers.
Over 2000 years ago, before the time of Christ, people decorated eggs believing that great powers were embodied in the egg. Eggs symbolized the release of earth from the shackles of winter and the coming of spring with its promise of new hope, new life, and prosperity.
With the advent of Christianity, Easter eggs came to symbolize the Resurrection and the promise of eternal life. Legend has it that as long as pysanky are decorated, goodness will prevail over evil throughout the world.
