Pysanka
The Traditional Ukrainian Decorated Egg Pysanka is the name of the Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs that dates back to 4,000 B.C. Centuries ago, the people who lived in the Carpathian Mountain region of Ukraine first decorated eggs to celebrate spring, and later, as Christianity spread, to celebrate Easter. In ancient times, the people in the area now known as Ukraine planted crops and the sun was an important part of the growing cycle. Many of the festivals and celebrations were related to planting and harvesting. The most important time of the year was the spring equinox, a time when nature was reborn. During the time of the cave man, the people in this area, as well as in other parts of the world, believed drawing a likeness of a plant or animal would bring that plant or animal to them. Drawing designs and pictures on eggs was a part of cultures from all areas of the globe. Eggs were revered because they were mysterious objects that created life. So, it was not unusual to decorate eggs and present them as gifts or tributes. Just as the Ukrainian people and the Russian people are similar yet different, the Ukrainian pysanka is similar to the egg-decorating tradition in Russia, but also different. In Russia, surprises are tucked inside eggs that have a top and a bottom.
