HAND-PAINTED EGGS
"Pysanky"
Discover (or re-discover!) a tradition dating back hundreds of years. These gorgeous wooden eggs come directly from Ukraine where this ancient craft originated. Since the 10th century, families have painted eggs during Lent to share with friends, family and the local priest. They use symbols and colors with profound meanings: the Resurrection, promise of eternal life, abundance, protection and affection. Each egg is unique in its color and design. Eggs are approximately 2.5" tall (1.75" in diameter).
