At the beginning of the 20th century, every Ukrainian village was famous for its unique pysanka (decorated easter egg). People have long been revering an egg as a source of life, and therefore they were concerned with cooling dumplings and Easter eggs with great respect. Pre-cooked eggs, wax, dyestuffs, pencil, and when the evening arrived and all around was freezing, tireless women sat down at the candle. A quiet holy prayer was read and layed on the white surface of the egg - signs of fertility, sprout, fiery solar power, life-giving rain. Pysanka was created. 

Afterwards, already consecrated, the pysanka saved her from bad fortune, evil eye, illnesses and fires. Take your pysanka in your hands! Let your little house shine a little sun, which will bring you health, harmony and love.
