The ancient Ukrainian art of decorating eggs consists of a wax resist/batik method that produces elaborate, colorful, symbolic designs. Although now mainly used to decorate Easter eggs, pysanky are much older than the Christian holiday, dating back to a time of sun worship. Adopted from the pagan tradition by Christians, pysanky were imbued with symbolism and superstition and traditions has upheld the customs and rituals of this ancient art.
