Pysanky: Ukrainian Easter Egg Tradition
A Northeastern University student fills a “kistka" pen with beeswax before heating it over a candle. Members of Northeastern University’s Ukrainian Cultural Club held a Pysanka-making workshop on campus, 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.
