Pysanky: Ukrainian Easter Egg Tradition

An egg is emptied of its contents using a special tool that pumps air through a small hole in the egg during a Pysanka-making workshop at Northeastern University, ahead of Ukrainian Easter. Designs are drawn with wax and the eggs are dyed in layers, beginning with the lightest color and working up to red or black. At the end, the wax is removed to reveal an elaborately decorated egg.
