Flowers denote beauty; rakes - harvest; Pine needles - eternal life; Spirals - the mysteries of life & death, divinity or immortality.

An egg decorated in the Ukrasinian is called a "pysanka" from the Ukrainian word meaning "to write".  The egg design is written freehand on a fresh, raw egg with a kistka, a tool that melts and holds beeswax in a small funnel.  All the white lines and areas are waxed first.  Next, the egg is repeatedly dyed and waxed, light colors to dark, until the design is complete.  Finally, the wax is removed and the egg varnished.  Once dry, it is emptied, cleaned and sealed.
