What exactly is a pysanka? Within the flow of the contemporary world, awareness and interest in Ukrainian Pysanky continues to increase. Yet at the same time, the written egg has changed dramatically from the traditional, regional Ukrainian folk pysanky, particularly in the diaspora. I have a fascination with traditional folk pysanky designs and particularly with the most ancient symbols stemming back to pre-Christian times and that of ancient Trypillia. Exploring some of these important ancient symbols, we will see their eventual incorporation into folk pysanky designs; a record of our history and an integral part of Ukrainian cultural identity.
